Totally independent, the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards, now in it’s second year, is the only concept of its kind dedicated exclusively to design. Judged by a highly influential panel of top international journalists from the design, hospitality and lifestyle sectors, the judges will recognise and reward both ’restaurants and bars’ and their ’designers’ for design excellence. With free online entry and a wide variety of categories, applicants and their projects receive extensive exposure, raising their profile for the duration of the competition and beyond. Culminating in a unique and innovative awards ceremony, the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards’ winners, including the best designed restaurant and the best designed bar, will be announced and presented with their award at a stunning central London location in June 2010. These 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.
