This means that beers from all parts of the country have an equal chance to be nominated.<\/p>\n<p>You can nominate up to five beers in each of the eleven categories to be put forward for the CBoB competition, but if you only want to nominate beers in one category, or even just one beer, that\u2019s fine. The more votes we get, the better the results will be.<\/p>\n<p>You do not have to nominate all the beers in one go. You can alter your selections anytime up to the deadline on 1st November.<\/p>\n<p>Not all beers are eligible for CBoB; mainstream beer styles like Bitters, Best Bitters, Strong Bitters &amp; Golden Ales have to be available for at least 7 months of the year. Other beer styles have to be available for a lesser period depending on the rarity and seasonality of the beer style.<\/p>\n<p>Initial nominations for CBoB are made at a local level so only beers that are produced in the area near you (based on your registered address) will be available for nomination. We realise that some of you will drink beers from a wider area, but many members find very long lists of beers with which they are unfamiliar very off-putting.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table width=\"580\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"580\">\n<h1>How to Vote<\/h1>\n<p>Any CAMRA member can log into the CBoB website <a href=\"http:\/\/camra.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-kdiutil-zduttjjuj-n\/\"><strong>www.cbobvoting.org.uk<\/strong><\/a> using their member login details.
