Mazer Cup International
May the Mead Flow
Welcome to the world of competitive mead making, and in this world The Mazer Cup International is THE event of the year. Mead makers, both professional and homebrewers alike, submit their brews to the MCI every year to be judged.
There are wine competitions all over, and many accept mead, but there are not many mead competitions, and few who accept amateur mead entries. If you have any interest in brewing the Mazers Cup is a great contest to wet your whistle on.
What is The Mazer Cup
The Mazer Cup is an international mead making competition. You can enter if you are a professional meadery or if you are just a home brewer (they have separate entries so homebrewers aren't facing off against meaderies).
How to Enter
Simply go to http://www.mazercup.com/, fill out the entry form and mail in your entry.
Make sure you specify if you are entering the professional or the amateur contest and that you enter your mead in the right category.
