Award deadlines coming up (scroll down below text for a list of awards organised by industry) 

Happy New Year! Welcome to our handy guide to awards with deadlines coming up – start the year in award-winning fashion! 

As ever, contact our team here at Boost if you need help with your entries or guidance on which awards to enter. It’s the perfect time to get a date in your diary to plan which awards to enter for 2026 – our amazing in-depth awards planning sessions are a great way to get teams together from across your organisation to identify which are your strongest stories. We can then match them to awards that would provide most benefit to you. Okay, let’s get started with the awards to look out for coming up..

Employer awards, business awards, leadership awards, DEI awards, HR awards and training awards

For a more comprehensive overview, please read our guides to ‘Great Employer Awards‘, ‘Which are the best HR Awards to enter?’ and ‘Diversity and Inclusion awards‘. 

If you are looking for an international general business award, The TITAN Business Awards and TITAN Women in Business Awards both share a final deadline 18th February and include loads of categories, so something suitable for everyone. Other options worth keeping an eye on include the UK Company Culture Awards (19th February) and Inspiring Workplaces Awards UK & Ireland (25th February), both of which prove to be very popular each year.    

Further afield, one the most prestigious rankings has now launched – The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality. While the 6th Feb deadline may seem far away, these require a great deal of planning so you will need to start asap. I recommend reading our new guide to everything you need to know about entering the Times Top 50 in 2026. We have a great history of success helping organisations in this area so do contact us for help with your DEI entries.      

Customer service awards

A couple of the biggest awards in the calendar are coming up!  You will need to be quick to enter the Stevie Awards for Sales and Customer Service (14th January) or if you need something with a bit more lead up time, then consider the UK Excellence Awards run by BQF (British Quality Foundation) open until 27th February or the UK National Contact Centre Awards (also 27th February).        

Finance awards 

The world of financial services is a broad umbrella, but here are a few to keep an eye out for in the coming months – the Professional Pensions UK Pensions Awards (23rd January), the various Celent Model Awards (30th January) or the Drawdown Awards which closes 13th February. We help many of the biggest names in global finance to win awards. Contact us today to see how we can help you get a competitive edge. 

Legal awards 

One of the most-established awards in the legal industry is now open for entries. The Modern Law Awards has been running since 2013, is highly regarded and therefore competitive and is open until 13th February.      

Marketing, events and PR awards

There are a large number of credible marketing and creative awards that have launched, so I won’t mention them all, but some that focus on particular areas of digital marketing that should be on your radar include: the Muse Creative Awards (26th February), the AVA Digital Awards (15th January), NYX Digital Awards (final deadline 11th February) and the ever-popular UK Paid Media Awards which closes 22nd January. Also keep an eye out for the Global Eventex Awards (30th January).  

Tech awards

Special mention for this month goes to the technology and computing sectors, and a few awards programmes in particular – in the world of financial technology, the highly credible The Fintech Awards is open until 23rd January, while another important award in the tech sector – The Computing AI and Software Development Awards – also shares the same deadline. Dipping in to February, if you are looking for a winnable international tech awards, then consider the Noble Technology Awards (26th February).  

Hopefully these highlights will provide insights to help you plan which awards to enter in 2026.
