ABOUT THE CRAFT BEVERAGE MARKETING AWARDS

The Craft Beverage Marketing Awards (CBMAs), known as “The Crushies,” launched in 2020 to celebrate the very best in beverage marketing and the talented teams and individuals behind it. Beverage producers, agencies, artists, and their marketing partners are invited to showcase their finest work and compete for recognition. 

In 2021, the CBMAs went global, attracting entries from around the world. Since then, participants have competed on a global stage. For the 2025 season—our sixth competition—entries are welcome from craft beer, non-alcoholic craft beer, craft ready-to-drink cocktails, cider, mead, THC-infused beverages, and craft hard seltzer. 

Winners in each category will be honored with Global Crushies for first place, while Platinum Crushies will be awarded for second place. All entries are evaluated by an esteemed panel of beverage, marketing, and design experts using a robust, transparent, and credible digital scoring system.  Stay tuned to see our amazing roster of 2025 judges!

Good luck to all the entrants, and cheers to great marketing!
