The label competition · 2027 edition

Your photograph, on next year’s bottle.

Upload a photo from the Shore. We engrave it in the ink of The Red or The White, set it in our label, and print the place it was taken from your photo’s location. Each year one entry becomes a label of its own.

Free to enter. No purchase necessary. Open to adults 21 and over. Entries close November 30, 2026. Entries show on the wall once we have reviewed them. Read the rules and photo licence
