Meadllennium2006 is now accepting entries.

Last year we were the largest mead-only competition in North America, and anticipate another great year in 2006. We will be judging all of the BJCP mead categories (24 A, B & C; 25 A, B & C; 26 A, B & C).
The BJCP guidelines are at: http://www.bjcp.org/styles04/
Last year we even expanded the categories and awarded medals for Dry, Semi-sweet and Sweet meads in the “Other Fruit Melomel” category (26C). When was the last time you heard of a competition giving MORE medals? We even pulled some Braggots out of 26C (Open Category Mead) to judge all Braggots together – rather than collapse them into another category.
Once again, we have a panel of experienced mead judges, including the president of the BJCP and a wine sommelier, waiting to sample the best meads in the world. As usual, we will be using special wine tasting glasses to evaluate the meads.
We will award medals to all first, second, and third place winners, plus an etched goblet for category winners and the BOS winner. Also, the club with the most points will receive a special award (the host club, the CFHB is excluded from this award). The last two years this has been the Great Northern Brewers Club from Anchorage, Alaska. Is there a club out there that can wrest the award from them?
We look forward to tasting the best meads you have to offer.
