Entering competitions like this is a great way to get feedback on your beers - the entries will be made anonymous by the competition coordinators so the judges won’t know who brewed which beer and the feedback will be unbiased.

 You can brew for this in pairs, with co-brewers, if you’d like.   With three months notice, you can start planning your brew now and reserve a brew time.  For more info on White IPAs, take a look at the style guidelines here and read this online article.
