Ever wondered who illustrated some of the greatest beer labels you’ve ever had the pleasure of peeling off the bottle?

Like the Old Style Pilsner Beer classic with the cartoon biplane, stagecoach, and vintage-20s automobile.

Or the Adventure Time-like King Louie DIPA artwork for Aeronaut Brewing.

Now you’ve got the chance to impress not only your fellow beer connoisseurs, but also the Amateur Art Critics Association of B.C.

To celebrate this year’s Earth Day—Stanley Park Brewing is looking for original submissions for a special edition of its Hollow Tree Lager.
By entering a piece of original art, you not only get the chance to see your work on a bottle of the brewery’s best-selling beer, but also a $500 cash prize and a prize pack. That pack presumably includes beer, which is reason enough to enter. Two runners up will receive $200 each and a prize pack.

Normally, this is the time of year when the micro-brewery would be getting ready to celebrate Earth Day as part of on-site activities organized by the Stanley Park Ecology Society (SPES), a non-profit charity dedicated to stewarding conservation efforts, habitat restoration, and educational activities.

Instead, with the crown jewel of Vancouver parks currently being reclaimed by the racoons and squirrels during the COVID-19 lockdown, Stanley Park Brewing is getting creative with its efforts to help with SPES fundraising.

To celebrate Earth Day’s 50th anniversary on April 22, $1 from every limited edition label bottle of Hollow Tree Lager sold will be donated to the ecology society.

Whether you’re the second coming of Andy Warhol or someone who has trouble drawing a stick man with a ruler, you’re invited to submit a design that pays tribute to Earth Day, Stanley Park, and the experiences that are part of any visit.

Here are the ground rules as laid out by Stanley Park Brewing: 

Entry to the contest is open until 11:59PM PST Thursday, April 16, 2020 to Canadian residents aged 19 and over.

Six submissions chosen by Stanley Park Brewing will be put to a public vote on Instagram Stories to determine three finalists on 12pm PST Saturday, April 18, 2020 to 12pm PST Sunday, April 19, 2020. Stanley Park Brewing will select and announce the grand prize winner (1), and runners up (2) on the Stanley Park Brewing website on Monday, April 20, 2020. Winners will be contacted within 48 hours of the contest closing.

All artwork must be your own and original. Art may include a tagline; however, it should be separate from the artwork. Winning entries must meet the outlined theme, submission criteria and agree to the terms & conditions.
