CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - June 6, 2012) - Big Rock Brewery Inc. (TSX:BR) - Over the past 19 years the Eddies event has helped launch acting, directing and graphic design careers all across our great country and has created hours and hours of raucous laughter for our Eddies judging panels and the audience of 1,800+ Big Rock beer drinkers.
All the while, the Eddies have been supporting great local organizations such as One Yellow Rabbit Performance Theatre, Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter and EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts.
This year Big Rock Brewery increased the prize monies in the print category. In 2011 we added "Enjoy Big Rock Responsibly" to the print ad category and what a great response we had. This category is devoted to the promotion of social responsibility and the safe consumption of Big Rock products. The winner of this category will take home a $1,500 cash prize and see their creative advertisement used for various print campaigns in publications across Canada.
Please refer to the complete list of winners below.
