Points waiting for an artist
These labels are winning votes, but nobody has confirmed who drew them. Once an artist is named, the points go to them. If you know who is behind a brewery’s labels, open the label and tell us.
- Tripping Animals 5 points from 3 unnamed labels
- Mortalis 3 points from 1 unnamed label
- Newgrass 1 point from 1 unnamed label
- Abomination 1 point from 1 unnamed label
- New Anthem Beer Project 1 point from 1 unnamed label
- Local 1 point from 1 unnamed label
How it’s decided
- Vote in This or That. Every pick is a point for the artist who drew that label.
- It’s an award for the artist, not one label. An artist’s score is the share of matchups their labels win, so a big catalog doesn’t win on size alone. Likes count too.
- Only confirmed credits count. If a label is credited to the wrong artist, or not yet confirmed, tell us on that label’s page.
- To qualify, an artist’s labels need at least 25 matchups during the year.
- Winners get a badge for their website and portfolio.
