This is the 22nd year for the THE Awards, and we were delighted to receive over 500 entries once again.

In such challenging times for the sector, that tally is a real testimony to your continued enthusiasm for what you do, day in and day out.

You can now read about all 125 of this year’s finalists on our Shortlist page.

The 2026 awards ceremony will take place on Thursday 26 November at The Vox in Birmingham, and tickets are now on sale – we look forward to celebrating with you all there.
