12.

However, in recognition that a beer could be entered in a Show before a beer has been finally allocated to a brand, portability of an award so that it can stay with the beer which won it shall be permitted providing the Perth Royal Beer Show conditions allow. 12.3 Awards received by a Class of beer (e.g. Most Successful Western Australian Exhibitor ) shall not be used to suggest the individual beer has received any particular distinction. These awards will not be presented on crown sealed and corked bottles, cans and PET containers in the form of a medal. 12.4 The use of gold discs, silver discs and bronze discs to promote anniversaries, events, sponsorship and the like, must not be used. Stickers and symbols or other devices should be sufficiently differentiated from show medals in terms of shape and/or colour to ensure no confusion. It is recognised that identification stickers attached to a bottle for beer not intended for resale, such as supplied to airlines, may fall outside the control of the producer. 12.5 No Exhibitor shall advertise or allow to be advertised by any means whatsoever, whether by broadcasting, pictorially, or in writing, the fact that any exhibit has won any prize in this Beer Show unless such advertisement shows clearly: a) Year of award; b) Description of class or subclass; c) Type of beer; d) Perth Royal Beer Show. 12.6 Any Exhibitor making improper use of awards won at the 2017 Perth Royal Beer Show for advertising purposes may be disqualified from any future Perth Royal Beer Shows.
