As the deadline for entries for CAMRA’s national Pub Design Awards approaches, pub-goers are encouraged to nominate their favourite local with an outstanding building design by 23 September.

Held in association with Historic England, the awards recognise high standards of architecture, refurbishment, conservation and construction and are open to all pubs in the UK. Buildings can be nominated by anyone – whether they are a landlord, pub company or simply an admiring local.

Last year, the Scottish Stores in London (pictured) grabbed national headlines after winning the Conservation Award. Originally designed in 1900, the pub was tastefully conserved back to its original Jacobean woodwork after nearly three decades as an infamous stripper’s pub in King’s Cross.

The competition includes five categories:
• New Build: for entirely new built pubs.
• Refurbishment: can range from a complete gutting and replacement to an enhancement of what was originally there.
• Conversion to Pub Use: where an existing building is converted to pub use
• CAMRA/Historic England Award: this award, sponsored by Historic England, is usually given for work which conserves what is good in the pub to ensure its future for generations of customers.
• Joe Goodwin Award: named after the late CAMRA chair Joe Goodwin – is reserved for outstanding refurbished street-corner locals.

Sean Murphy, CAMRA’s Pub Design Awards coordinator, said, “The Pub Design Awards aim to showcase the very best in architectural design.

“These prestigious awards help raise the profile of numerous pubs that exemplify the very best of Britain. Individually, they each tell a story of huge potential and dedication, regardless of whether a pub is a new build or a much-loved heritage pub restored to its former glory.”

For those who wish to enter the competition or to find out more information, do to: http://www.camra.org.uk/pub-design-awards-online-entry. Entrants may be required to provide additional photographs and plans of the building, so the pub licensee should always be made aware of and approve the entry.
