Comments.Text: I think this question is too broad as written, but if you focus it on major competitions you'd encounter as a consumer (not as a prospective entrant), that would be a valuable question.  Maybe you could ask about entering craft-brewing competitions separately.  (Be sure to explain what you seek to get out of the experience; don't just ask for a list.)

Comments.Text: What if you don't know what the major beer competitions are? Personally, I could probably name one if pressed. Maybe. I didn't know that there were separate competitions for craft brewing.
