The Finger Lakes International Wine & Spirits Competition (FLIWC), now celebrating its 25th year, is inviting wineries and distilleries from around the globe to submit their best products for a chance to be recognized among the industry’s finest—all while supporting a cause that changes lives.

With the entry deadline of May 16, 2025, quickly approaching, producers still have time to take part in one of the largest charitable competitions of its kind. The FLIWC is known for its commitment to excellence, its world class panel of judges, and its unique mission, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to Camp Good Days, a nonprofit organization that provides free programs and services to children, families, and adults impacted by cancer or sickle cell anemia.

Each entry is evaluated through a rigorous blind-tasting process by a panel of renowned experts, including sommeliers, winemakers, and respected industry professionals. The competition welcomes a wide range of submissions, offering categories for wines and spirits that showcase the creativity, craft, and dedication 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.”
