Competition Registration

The participant can enter the Competition by submitting an Entry Form or entering Online, paying the Entry Fee, and delivering the Entry to the Competition warehouse. Entries that do not arrive by the entry deadline cannot be refunded or credited.

No refund or credit of an Entry Fee will be given in any circumstances, including circumstances in which an Entry is disqualified, withdrawn, lost, or damaged, or does not arrive in time.

Labelling and Shipping

Clearly label each box of beer using the submission label, which can be downloaded once you have entered and paid for your beer in your account.
If you send your beers directly to our warehouse, you must tick the option: ‘Duties and Taxes payable by shipped'. If the above is not completed, we cannot guarantee that the beer will not be stopped in Customs and arrive on time for the competition. London Beer Competition is not responsible for tracking the shipping of your beers, please ensure everything is in order before sending your beers.

Import License, Declaration & Duty

All duty, shipping costs, and taxes must be prepaid by the submitter of the samples. Beers must be Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), therefore instruction to complete the import declaration should be given to your forwarder/courier company. Please choose ‘shipper accept all charges on the documentation provided by your courier company. Submitters should also be responsible for any fees related to the import declaration. Beers cannot be accepted by our logistic partner if the charges associated with shipping have not been paid. Any penalty and additional cost incurred from the non-compliance of declaration requirement in the UK will be borne by the Submitters.

Insurance

LBC and its logistic partner will not take responsibility for beer damaged or lost whilst in transit. In the event that for reasons beyond the reasonable control of LBC, it is necessary or advisable for the LBC to be canceled, LBC cannot accept any liability whatsoever for any direct or indirect loss of profit, damage, or expense of any kind incurred as the result of such cancellation.

Delayed Shipments

For the LBC Judges to taste your products it is essential they arrive on time. If your samples do not arrive in time for the LBC, they will not be able to be blind-tasted, or placed by the Judges. No refund should be provided.

Printing Labels and Rights (License to Print)

The purpose of License to Print was primarily arranged for the convenience of Winners that have larger quantities of bottles to add their LBC Medals. Large-scale usage of License to Print enables Winners to save manpower to add to all bottles by hand and/or they can arrange their printing more efficiently without needing to find a machine that can attach stickers with the exact dimensions that LBC Medals are issued at, can be time-consuming/not easily accessible. LBC Medal showcases winning wines and spirits to buyers who are seeking the all-important LBC stamp of approval. Whether you are the Producer, Distributor, Importer, or Retailer, now is your chance to celebrate and boost sales.

Usage rights to LWC Medal artwork

Winners are welcome to use the LBC artwork on marketing materials related to the winning products with no restrictions if it's used for marketing material, presentations, websites, press releases, trade shows, and any other marketing purpose. For usage of the LBC materials on Bottles or Packaging/Boxes, winners order either LBC Medal Stickers or the LBC License to Print. Both have no time limit to usage and are based on the quantity ordered.
