The Finger Lakes International Wine & Spirits Competition (FLIWC) is marking its 25th year by inviting global wineries and distilleries to enter their top products for industry recognition, all while supporting a life-changing cause.
With the entry deadline fast approaching on May 16, 2025, producers still have an opportunity to participate in this significant charitable competition.
The FLIWC is acclaimed for its dedication to excellence, its esteemed panel of judges, and its unique mission: 100% of the proceeds directly benefit Camp Good Days, a nonprofit offering free programs to those affected by cancer or sickle cell anemia.
Each submitted product undergoes a thorough blind-tasting evaluation by a panel of distinguished experts, including sommeliers, winemakers, and respected industry professionals. The competition welcomes a diverse array of wines and spirits, celebrating the innovation and skill of producers worldwide.
“The Finger Lakes International Wine & Spirits Competition isn’t just about awards it’s about impact,” said Jamie Varble, Director of the FLIWC. “When you enter, you’re not only putting your brand in front of top-tier judges and gaining recognition you’re helping provide lifechanging experiences for the individuals and families we serve at Camp Good Days.”
All medal-winning entries will be showcased at the Camp Good Days Wine & Spirits Auction Gala and promoted through FLIWC’s national media partners, providing valuable exposure for producers and their award-winning products.
