INDEPENDENT CATEGORIES
There are thousands of brilliant specialist independent retailers scattered across the country and this year we have the following categories open to retailers with up to 10 stores.
Judging Process
When the entry deadline has passed, all entries are read and shortlisted by the Drinks Retailing editorial team.
Each of the shortlisted retailers are visited by an independent judge in order to assess the standard of retailing. Once all the store visits are completed, the judge then reports his findings back to a final judging panel, where the winners are decided.*
Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Tuesday February 2, 2021
* Please note: our judging process may differ slightly whilst we navigate the COVID19 situation.
