Arthur von Wiesenberger, noted water expert, author, radio and TV personality from Santa Barbara, CA, will conduct the event.
The competition is a double blind taste test using a scorecard judging clarity, smell, taste, mouth feel & aftertaste. Detailed results of the judging will be available to each individual municipality or company after the event.
All four divisions - commercially bottled water, sparkling & non-carbonated, purified drinking water, and municipal water will be judged separately. Ballots for the Peoples' Choice Package Design Award will
be available on Saturday, February 25, 2006.
We will only release the top five winners in each field, avoiding any negative press for those entrants who finish lower.
