Who can enter IGSA?
Any commercially available spirits brand, domestic or international. Products must be available for sale or nearing market launch.
How is the final score calculated?
Each entry is scored by 3 Technical Judges and 2 Buyer Judges on a 100-point scale. The Technical Score (average of 3) and Buyer Score (average of 2) are averaged together — so each panel counts for exactly 50%.
What do the top 5 category winners receive?
Beyond medal recognition, the top 5 scoring entries in each category are introduced to Indian trade buyers actively looking to grow their import and distribution portfolios.
Do I need an existing importer in India to enter?
No. IGSA is designed specifically for brands that don't yet have Indian distribution — that's the point of the competition.
Is judging blind?
Yes. Both panels taste and score without knowledge of the brand identity.
What if my entry doesn't medal?
Not every entry receives a medal — that's what keeps IGSA medals meaningful. All entrants receive their scores and judge feedback regardless of outcome.
