To ensure the success of the event and make the judging easy and fair we must ask you to observe the following

The standard fee for entry into the competition is on a per person basis and will be $10. Late entries may incur an extra fee or may not be able to enter. Entries on the day of the event will not be accepted for the competition but may be offered for tasting and comments.
Payment for the competition must be made before the day of the competition and should be paid into this bank account 03-1354-0268834-16 with your first and last name and “HB” as a reference. If banking is not an option for you, you must make contact with us to organise another method of payment.

No more than three entries per person will be accepted.
We recommend you bring your entries in 750ml bottles or larger. Smaller bottles may not be accepted. We also urge that you supply us with 1-1.5L for each of your entries so that there is enough to go around.
