ThePub Design Awards (PDA) are an annualawards, established in 1983 and hosted byCAMRA in association withEnglish Heritage and theVictorian Society, that are given to exceptionalpubs in theUK that have been newly built/converted or have recently undergone building/conservation work.

The awards cover 4 Categories:

1. New Build(For newly constructed pubs)
2. Conversion of existing buildings to pub use(For use of a building that had not previously been a pub)
3. Refurbishment of existing public houses(For recently refurbished pubs. The final interior must suit the era of the building and enhance the 'feel' of the pub)
4. TheEnglish Heritage Award for conservation(For pubs that have retained much of their original design and/or decor and have recently had conservation work to improve the overall condition of the interior.)

There is also a fifth award which is given independently of the above categories and cannot be entered directly; theJoe Goodwin Conservation Award, sometimes known asJoe Goodwin Award for best 'Street-Corner Local'. This is chosen from all entries, not just winners of other categories.

Any pub can only enter one category, entries may be from anywhere in theBritish Isles. Anyone can enter a pub for the awards.

Photographs and a typed description (Max. 2 A4 sheets) of the interior and exterior and what work was completed are required for entry, as are drawings of the interior plan and location map of the pub.

To qualify, the work must have been finished between 1 January and 31 December of the year before, e.g. For2007, the work on the pub must have been completed sometime in2006.

Judging takes place initially by shortlisting, after which the selection will be visited, the panel comprises members of theCAMRA Pubs Group along with conservation experts and architects outsideCAMRA.

Not every award is given every year (depending on the entries), but there are often mentions for highly commended pubs, and some years there are joint winners when there are a number of exceptional pubs in particular categories.

The winners receive a plaque which can be displayed publicly in the pub, permanently.

Where the entry readsNone Awarded, this means no award was given in that category for that year, even though there may be 'Highly Commended' pubs in that category(which are not listed here).None listed, this means there was no information about that particular award.
