Corn States Support

Corn marketing associations collectively sponsor the Heartland Whiskey Competition. Distillers from all U.S. states and territories are eligible to compete in and receive whiskey category medals.

Corn marketing association sponsorship determines eligibility to earn Best-of-State, Best-of-Show and  multiple Top Farmer-Distiller awards.

A list of sponsored states (Best-of-State eligible) will be published here when the competition opens in Spring of 2025.
