Entries to the 2017 Australian drinks Awards open on April 10 and the drinks association has refreshed the Awards’ website in anticipation of its biggest year yet. 
  
Now in its fifth year, the Australian drinks Awards has become the drinks industry’s premier event.
 
This year, the Awards ceremony has moved to the International Convention Centre Sydney, in Darling Harbour. The night will feature a theatre-style, seated presentation for all awards excluding Brand of the Year and Supplier of the Year, followed by dinner and the presentation of the two major awards.
 
The new-look Australian drinks Awards website also features details on changes to the judging process for the Awards. Unlike previous years, the shortlisting process for each award will be removed. Each entry, regardless of category, will go straight to a consumer panel. 
 
Along with these changes are revised requirements to entry for some awards.The changes are designed to help better determine the best entries and present the awards to the most deserving brands and products.
 
“the drinks association believes the new judging process will build a better Australian drinks Awards”, says CEO Sandra Przibilla. “We would like to thank our members for their continued support and participation. I invite you to visit www.australiandrinksawards.com.au for all the latest information on our industry’s most respected awards event.”
