Why Enter

Because the work your team does deserves to be seen.

An entry isn't just a form - it's independent, sector-wide recognition of what you've built. Here's what it gets you.

Industry-wide recognition
Judged by an independent panel of sector experts, so a shortlisting or a win carries real credibility with clients, partners and peers.
25 categories to choose from
From local authority partnerships to AI and technology, circular economy and rising talent — there's a category built around the work you actually do.
Free to enter, every category
No entry fee, whatever the size of your organisation. If the work meets the criteria, we want to see it.
A room of 1,000 industry peers
Winners or not, being announced in front of the sector's biggest gathering is a marketing moment in its own right.
A simple, three-step entry
Plan your category, write a 500-word entry with supporting evidence, submit. Most entrants have it done in an afternoon.
Team morale that lasts
A shortlisting is something a whole team can point to. It's recognition that goes well beyond the ceremony itself.
