About.
In 2023, The South’s Best Spirits Awards gave brands for the first time an opportunity to be judged against their regional peers, with award assets that would directly resonate with consumers looking to support local brands. Interest from brands outside the South for a similar competition led to the coming together of five distinct regions in the U.S. to create the Triple Crown of Beverage Competitions, allowing brands with one entry to showcase their craftsmanship at the state, regional and national levels.
“While there are plenty of beverage competitions today, few have value beyond a narrow geographical area and most lack branding that speaks clearly to the consumer. America’s Best flips the usual competition framework on its head by awarding brands locally, regionally and nationally… all in one entry. This allows brands to use the award they feel will most resonate with their target consumer at any given time and place. The Triple Crown of Beverage Competitions maximizes ROI and impact for brands across the United States.”

Why Enter?
In a world where beverage competitions have proliferated, most fall short in delivering tangible value to brands. You're likely familiar with the landscape: numerous contests, hefty entry fees, and awards that, while relevant within narrow circles, don't resonate with the broader consumer base or stretch beyond limited locales. The result? A shiny medal on your website but a questionable impact on your bottom line.
So why a new one? The answer is simple: to revolutionize how your brand is recognized and how your entry dollars are leveraged. America's Best Beverage Awards was born from a desire to bridge the gap between industry accolades and consumer recognition, ensuring that your investment extends its reach far beyond what traditional competitions offer.
