Utah-based independent distillery Ogden's Own has announced that its annual label, Five Husbands Vodka, is putting out a nationwide casting call for its 2022 Five Husbands bottling. The year-round expression, which is devoted to supporting and celebrating the LGBTQ+, is in search of candidates who share the brand's values and vision.
Those interested will have the opportunity to have their photo printed on the brand's 2022 vodka bottle, where they will join four other LGBTQ+-supporting individuals who have been hand-picked by Five Husbands. The campaign is both playful and empowering, leveraging the images and stories of real-life members of the LGBTQ+ community to spread joy and awareness.
Candidates will be required to submit an application touching on their LGBTQ+ community involvement, hobbies, passions, interests, and more. Ogden’s Own will announce the five winners on Valentine’s Day 2022 (Feb 14), with the new bottle planned to hit shelves in May, just before PRIDE month.
