About the RTD Competition

PR%F Awards is a premier beverage competition platform, now in its seventh year of operation! Because of the explosive growth of the Infused and RTD drink categories recently, we have decided to feature three separate competitions. This allow us to better connect beverage brands with the buyers actively looking for these types of new products.

The PR%F Awards – RTD Beverage Competition is dedicated to recognizing the best in ready-to-drink and ready-to-serve beverages, including spirits, wine, malt, honey-based drinks, and more. Our panel of expert judges consists exclusively of beverage buyers from retail chains, hospitality venues, distributors, and industry decision-makers actively seeking new RTD products.

Unlike traditional competitions, PR%F Awards uses a 100-point rating system, allowing multiple brands to achieve recognition in their category without competing for limited placements. Winners receive extensive media exposure, industry recognition, and direct access to buyers.
