WHY ENTER
Local artists deserve exposure that lasts longer than a gallery show. The winning artwork becomes the official label for our 2026 Wine of the Year — and stays available as a label option for every customer who orders that wine in the years ahead.
Your design becomes the official label of The Lokal Winery's 2026 Wine of the Year — your name, your story, your artwork on the bottle.
Your choice of red or white — bottled with your winning label. Yours to keep, gift, or share with the people in your corner.
Long after the contest ends, any customer ordering the 2026 signature wine can choose your winning label — your artwork keeps travelling for years.
A story-first profile on our site and shared across our social media — your inspiration, your community, and where to find more of your work.
Featured on our homepage, our social channels, our newsletter, and every campaign we run around the winning wine.
CREATED HERE · SHARED EVERYWHERE
Fenelon Falls is built by artists, makers, small business owners, and people who care where they live. The 2026 Wine of the Year is our invitation to the community: help us bottle a piece of this place and share it with everyone who pours a glass.
A local artist's canvas. A piece of Fenelon Falls. A story people can take home and share.

Yes — completely free. No purchase, no entry fee, no strings attached.
Any artist. We built this to celebrate Fenelon Falls and Kawartha Lakes creators, but talent from surrounding communities is warmly welcomed too.
If your design is selected as the winning entry, you grant The Lokal Winery the right to reproduce your artwork on the 2026 Wine of the Year label, related packaging, and marketing across our website, social channels, and in-store — with you credited as the artist and included in how your story is shared. Non-winning entries remain fully yours; we won't use them without your permission.
15 bottles of wine (your choice of red or white) featuring your winning label, a permanent label option so customers can keep choosing your artwork on future orders of the 2026 signature wine, and a full artist profile shared across our website and social media.
You'll get a confirmation email now, and a launch email the moment submissions open on Sept 15, 2026. Entries close Oct 5, voting runs Oct 15 – Nov 15, and the winner is announced at the end of November.
