After submission, entrants will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to gather votes from friends, family, and bar "regulars," encouraging them to share their experiences at your bar. These endorsements will provide us with valuable insights and help us determine which bars advance to the finalist round. While votes are certainly important, this is not about “the most votes wins.” We’re looking for the bar that brings its visitors the best overall experience and most joy.

From here, we’ll announce a shortlist of finalists. Our esteemed panel of judges will then select two runners up (one US, one UK) and an overall champion.

The submission form requires at least one photo of your backyard bar and some basic personal information. The bar you submit must be your own. You cannot submit on behalf of a friend. Only one submission per household.

Submissions are open from 22nd July to 31st August. Finalists will be announced in early September. The winner will be announced in late September.

No! One grand prize winner will be chosen. In addition, one runner-up will be chosen from the US and UK to win an Ooni pizza oven, a Pinter and Pinter beer. Additional notable entries will receive a Pinter and Pinter beer.

No. No purchase of any sort, including alcohol, is necessary to enter. A purchase will not increase your odds of winning.
