Categories
The awards cover 4 Categories:
- New Build (For newly constructed pubs)
- Conversion of existing buildings to pub use (For use of a building that had not previously been a pub)
- 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)
- The English 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; the Joe Goodwin Conservation Award, sometimes known as 'Joe 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 the British Isles. Anyone can enter a pub for the awards.

Famous quotes containing the word categories:
“All cultural change reduces itself to a difference of categories. All revolutions, whether in the sciences or world history, occur merely because spirit has changed its categories in order to understand and examine what belongs to it, in order to possess and grasp itself in a truer, deeper, more intimate and unified manner.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“all the categories which we employ to describe conscious mental acts, such as ideas, purposes, resolutions, and so on, can be applied to ... these latent states.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Of course I’m a black writer.... I’m not just a black writer, but categories like black writer, woman writer and Latin American writer aren’t marginal anymore. We have to acknowledge that the thing we call “literature” is more pluralistic now, just as society ought to be. The melting pot never worked. We ought to be able to accept on equal terms everybody from the Hassidim to Walter Lippmann, from the Rastafarians to Ralph Bunche.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
