FAQ’s
How can I find out if my materials have been received?
Once you submit your materials and entry form online you will receive an email confirmation.
What is the history of the Crystal Beverage Awards?
This is actually the first year for the Crystal Beverage Awards. However we have 28 years of experience running the San Francisco International Wine Competition and 8 years experience running the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, both of which are the most prestigious competitions in their categories in the United States. Anthony Dias Blue saw that the existing awards recognizing restaurants for their beverage programs were not satisfactory. And thus the Crystal Beverage Awards were born in order to honor the artistry of beverage selection. Be part of the future of Beverage awards and enter today.
Should I include any additional information such as previous awards, press clippings, bios?
No, the judging and awards are based entirely on the quality of the beverage list submitted.
Can I fax or mail my wine/bar list and menu?
All entries are accepted electronically. If you are entering your lists for the presentation awards, you will need to send in complete hard copies and present it as it is presented in your restaurant.
