UK Dating Awards, shortened to the UKDAs, are annual awards given for excellence in the British dating industry. The UKDAs were first conferred in 2014. The nominations in each category are generated by self-entry. Entries are then shortlisted, and winners voted on by a panel of industry experts. Certain categories are voted for in a public vote. The Awards are presented at a ceremony at Armoury House in North London. They are supported by the Online Dating Association. The Awards were created by Charly Lester, a dating blogger, journalist and former Global Head of Dating for Time Out media group. In 2015 Lester announced the creation of complementary US Dating Awards and European Dating Awards, both of which launched in 2016.
