The CBMAs is the first awards program of its kind. It is a worldwide competition that focuses specifically on excellence in the artistic and creative marketing and packaging efforts of breweries, drink makers, designers, and agencies that continue to play an increasingly critical role in differentiating brands in a heavily-saturated beverage retail marketplace.

"After five years of fine tuning the CBMAS into a highly successful world-class awards program, we're excited to further commit to our inclusion of multiple craft beverage types by announcing a slight, but important, change in our name," said CBMAs Co-Founder, Jackie DiBella-Curry. "For our 2025 season, we'll officially be known as the Craft Beverage Marketing Awards, hoping to attract even more amazing work across the craft industry."

DHL's BevPros returned as the returning sponsor again this year. Additional sponsors include Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Steel City Taps, and EGC Group Craft Beverage Marketing.

"DHL is proud to sponsor CBMAS for the fifth consecutive year and recognize those bringing great brands and marketing to life in the beverage industry," said Prabh Hans, DHL BevPros, Head of Kegs & Domestic Services.

Early-Bird entries for the 2025 CBMAS awards season and judge recruitment will start being accepted in October. For additional information, visit craftbeveragemarketingawards.com.
