Restaurant & Bar Design Awards

Entry guidelines

The Restaurant & Bar Design Awards are open to UK projects (the only exceptions are restaurant and bar entries made into the international category) launched or renovated between the 1st January and 31st December 2009 . All work must be entered in collaboration. If you are the designer your entry must be made with the relevant restaurant or bar operator. If you are a restaurant or bar operator you can only enter in collaboration with your designer.

What is the cost?

Entry is free of charge.

Who gets an award?

Awards will be given per category to both the winning designer as well as the winning restaurant / bar operator.

Category?

Work can be entered into as many categories as you feel are appropriate and relevant. If you collaborated on a piece of work with another company or individual, you will need to make sure they haven't entered it into the same categories as you.

Prepare your work

Make sure all entry materials (text and other media) are clear, concise and of the best possible quality. Poor quality visual media will weaken your application.

Judging criteria

The entries that best meet the judges personal definitions of what 'design excellence' is, will win.

Ensure that you meet deadlines
