About The World Beverage Competition (BeverageCompetition.com):

The World's Largest Beverage Competition: Beverages from around the world participate in The World Beverage Competition for many reasons. Integrity, prestige, honor and success are words best used to describe the effect that Beverage Brands enjoy after receiving an award from this time-honored competition. The World Beverage Competition was founded on the premise that beverage products should be judged neither by the strength of their marketing, nor the budget of their sales force; but rather on the quality and innovation of the product itself. The tradition continues as we have recently expanded the number of beverage categories to cover the full spectrum of products available in the world today.
