Imbibe Personality of the Year Awards 2020

Imbibe's Personality of the Year Awards 2020 has dropped!

Back for its 10th year, Imbibe is celebrating those in the hospitality industry who have done the most to raise the bar on the UK drinks scene.

Potential winners are chosen by you, our on-trade focused readers. Your vote matters and we want to hear who YOU think deserves to win.

You do not need to vote for all categories, only for those which matter to you or are relevant to you, so make sure you're nominating your peers for the category you think fits.

Nominations close on Monday 2nd December at 4pm.

Please note: As Imbibe is a magazine for on-trade drinks professionals we're looking for nominees in these categories who are actively involved with preparing, buying, selling or otherwise shaping drinks offerings. We will only receive nominations from people currently working in the on-trade.

For more information on previous award winners please see the voting form below.
