There are over 25 categories in the awards with the deadline date for entries being May 5.

To enter, bars must complete an online entry form, and a panel of industry experts will then review and judge the entries.

The winners will be announced at a gala awards ceremony, which will take place in the Clayton Hotel, Dublin on Monday, August 21.
