Each entrant should review the 2008 BJCP style guidelines available at http://www.bjcp.org/stylecenter.php to determine the appropriate category in which to enter their mead, cider or perry. Default evaluation for undesignated elements will be as defined by the BJCP guidelines for mead & cider. Entries will not be recategorized by the judges. The strength, carbonation and sweetness of each mead entry MUST be specified, and carbonation and sweetness of each cider & perry MUST be specified.
