Home Photo Galleries Label Galleries 2005 Label Contest Winners

This year marks the tenth anniversary of Brew Your Own magazine and with that comes the 10th annual BYO Label Contest. It is never easy as we sit down each year to eyeball hundreds of custom labels from our creative readership.

But when all is said and done, we know our time was well spent. Great satisfaction is gained when we crown our Grand Champion, finalize our votes for Gold, Silver and Bronze labels, give mention to the honorables and select our Editors’ Picks on a strict “hey this label is talking to me” basis.

It’s not an exact science, but in 10 years of professional label critique, we’d like to think of it as an art. So . . . without further ado, grab a cool homebrew and check out these cool labels!
