Help CFI Design a Limited-Edition Beer Can
CFI is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year. To commemorate the occasion, we are partnering with 14er Brewing Company to create a limited-release craft beer. The brew will be canned and available for sale starting in mid July. To have some fun and engage our supporters, we are hosting a graphic design competition to create a custom beer can label.
Must be at least 21 years old to participate.

Download the logo files and template (.ai) now and start designing a unique beer can label for our 30th Anniversary limited-edition craft beer. Submissions are due by Wednesday, May 29th. We will share the results with our social media followers and vote on the best one. See guidelines and rules below.
