The Gin Guide Awards 2021 - Sponsorship Opportunities

---

The Gin Guide Awards

The Gin Guide Awards are the world's largest dedicated gin awards - an independent, global celebration of our historic, diverse and booming spirits category. Rather than hosting an Awards Ceremony event, our focus for our sponsors is to maximise the extensive digital media coverage that will best engage your audience, as well as a year-round presence and direct promotion with the audiences. The Awards are rigorously judged blind and remotely by an expert panel of Judges from across the industry, including bartenders, mixologists, distillers, retailers, distributors, venue owners and authors. The Awards are recognised as one of the most credible, exclusive and influential Awards in the sector. The sponsorship opportunities for the 2021 Awards will place your business in front decision makers within your key target audiences, giving multiple touch-points at times with the highest likelihood of engagement.
