Tröegs, a Hershey-based independent brewing company, is launching its annual "Art of Tröegs" contest, inviting local artists to submit original works inspired by the brewery's beer, label art, packaging, employees, or the brewery itself. This year marks the 20th anniversary of this creative competition that has become a staple in the Tröegs community.

Eligibility Requirements:
- Must be 21 years old or older
- Must reside within the Tröegs distribution area
- Any form of artwork is accepted including paintings, photography, mixed media, jewelry, and more

Entries will be judged by a panel of Tröegs co-workers who will select their favorite piece based on creativity and connection to the brewery's brand and values.

Prizes and Recognition:
The contest winner receives a $500 pre-loaded bank-issued gift card and will be the guest of honor at the 2026 Art of Tröegs gallery opening event later this year. Past winners have gone on to collaborate with Tröegs on various creative projects, including creating custom signage, painting murals, and designing beer labels.

Submission Details:
Original works must be submitted digitally by June 28th, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. The brewery has accepted diverse submissions over its 20-year history, ranging from custom sneakers and hand-painted guitars to large-scale sculptures made from aluminum cans and miniature brewery replicas.

This is an excellent opportunity for local artists to gain recognition, potential future collaboration opportunities, and a chance to be featured in the gallery opening event.
