We are excited to announce The 2015 NAGBW Awards is now accepting entries. The Board of Directors has worked to restructure this year's categories by content, rather than publication type. The deadline to submit is Monday, Aug. 17, 2015. Winners will be announced on Saturday, Sept. 26, at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver (more details to come). Please see the categories below and submit your most competitive work.

In the coming months we will roll out improvements for the NAGBW, including a new website, in order to supply resources and networking for members. We encourage you to renew your membership and participate in this period of growth. There will be opportunities for members to submit their input and suggestions for resources.
