CONTEST RULES


Three finalists will be chosen based on the criteria above. Contestants will be notified if they are chosen as finalists. At that time, each finalist will be asked to submit three different one-pound roasted coffee samples. Coffees will be judged on aroma, color, imperfections, bean size and a clean cup. Coffees will be blindly judged by a professional coffee cupper.


Deadline for submissions is July 30, 2010. Winner of the Roaster of the Year award will be announced in the Nov|Dec 2010 issue of Roast magazine. The winner will receive notice of award no later than August 20, 2010. The Roaster of the Year will be presented to a company and not an individual. All entries become the property of Roast magazine and will not be returned to applicant. Entries are judged by Roast magazine employees and Roast magazine representatives. Decisions of the judges are final. All scores are confidential and undisclosed. Applicants can either be a wholesale roaster or roaster/retailer. Applicants must roast their own coffee.
