How can I send samples?
There are two options for sending samples to the World Alcohol-Free Awards.
- Send directly to the competition in the UK
- Send via our consolidated shipping service
What is direct shipping?
With direct shipping, you are responsible for ensuring that your samples arrive at our logistics base by the deadline.
We recommend using an experienced international courier company who will help ensure that your paperwork is correctly filled in, and will notify you should there be any import queries.
You can find the address to send your products to here.
If you are sending your samples from outside the UK you will also need to fill in shipping forms. There is guidance on how to fill those in here.
Deadline for Direct shipping: March 6th, 2026
What is consolidating shipping?
Consolidated shipping is available to producers in Europe and North America.
Rather than posting your samples directly to the competition in the UK, you deliver them to a depot in the US or France.
Their expert team will check your paperwork and arrange onward shipping and customs clearance. Import taxes/duty are covered in the cost.
The whole process is smoother and more sustainable. It could also be cheaper.
