I am a homebrewer switching careers and going pro! After checking out several of the threads here on labels I have been very impressed.

My employer wants to have a label competition for our first packaged beer. Information is below. There are some pretty cool prizes. Ask if you have any questions!

Cranker's Brewpub Label Competition

Here is your opportunity to combine your creativity with your love for locally brewed craft beer!

Cranker's Brewpub in Big Rapids, MI is holding a contest to label their inaugural brew: Cranker's Bulldog Red. If your label design is chosen to be the concept that will adorn Cranker's handcrafted beer you will receive:

- One $50 gift certificate per month, for a year to Cranker's Brewpub.
- One case of Cranker's Bulldog Red per month, for a year.
- A mural of your design will be displayed inside Cranker's Brewpub.

Label Requirements:

- You must provide two label concept sizes, one for a 12oz bottle (3.5”x3.5”), and one for a 16oz can (6”x8”).

- The design for the 16oz can will have three 2.5” columns (the remainder will be filled with federal messages). The center column will feature the Cranker label that you design. The two panels flanking your design will be dedicated to descibing the beer and explaining the advantages of aluminum cans as a package. The two text columns just mentioned will be handled by Cranker's and is not the responsibility of the entrant.

- Entries must feature the phrases: “Cranker's Brewpub” and “Bulldog Red”.

- There is no limit to the number of entries you can submit.

- Entries are due on July 20, 2011.

- Send entries and questions to: [email protected] or drop off entries at ArtWorks or Cranker's in Big Rapids.

***In order to be eligible for the prizes of the gift certificates and the Bulldog Red you must be 21.***
 
Sweet!

Although I really must be honest with myself and understand that there is no chance in hell that I'm going to beat any one of the other persons entering... I truly wish I were more artistic!

I wonder if I can get that talented underaged art student from the high school to make something up for me. It's not like she is going to be able to drink that beer!
 
Also I'm assuming that the college is going to frown upon the use of their official mascot for this competition? That would be too bad. I think Brutus would look very good on a can of beer!
 
There are many wonderful bulldogs in the world, ours just happens to be one of them :)

I believe that there may be some rebranding, but I am not in on all of those conversations.
