All winemakers and distillers, both male and female, can enter the Lumo Awards and all products will be judged on merit.
If your winery or distillery has a woman at the helm, she will be eligible to be awarded a trophy for “Woman Winemaker of the Year” or “Woman Distiller of the Year”.

The Lumo Awards will confer silver and gold awards to signify good quality. The trophies to be awarded are:
- Best Cap Classique
- Best red wine on show
- Woman Winemaker of the Year
- Woman Distiller of the Year
