Fest Beer(s) Label Design Contest

We have a record TWO festival beer sponsors at our Fall 2026 Carolina Indie Fest and we're celebrating by giving away FREE Carolina Indie Fest shirts each week to those who create the best label design for the beers.

The contest is simple, stop by any of our sponsor locations:

* Raven Forge Games (132 S. Steele Street); or,

* Sanford Yoga (126 W Main Street - standing in as a location for Common Defense); or;

* Hugger Mugger Brewing (229 Wicker Street)

Pick up a printed label design paper and start drawing the beer label of your dreams!  We will

collect and post the labels every week for folks to vote on the best one.  Be sure to guess the Alcohol By Volume (ABV) of the beer for a chance to win special prizes.

The names for the beers are under consideration now, when they are released feel free to submit again (the name might spark some fresh creativity).  Or suggest your own name & write it on the label!  The best names are those that marry the branding of the brewery and the sponsor.

Contest starts today and we will announce this week's winners next week.  Really looking forward to your creations!
