Employer awards, Business awards, Leadership 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 of 6th November (but will extend) and include loads of categories, so something suitable for everyone. 

Other deadlines to look for include the Consultancy Awards (Early bird deadline 11th December), Best Places to Work (13th December), British LGBTQ+ Awards (15th December), and of course there are plenty of options with ongoing entry formats, such as Business Disability Forum – Disability Smart Audit and the survey-based Great Place to Work.     

In the world of training keep an eye out for the very well-established ATD Advancing Talent Development Awards open until 16th December.  

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: Muse Creative Awards (14th November), NYX Awards (Early bird 14th November), AVA Digital Awards (12th December) and finally in the PR world the newly formed PRWeek People & Places Awards (19th December).  

Financial services and insurance awards

Financial services is a broad umbrella, so always best to check our Financial Services Awards list to find the area you are most interested in. Specific mentions this month include The Pensions Age Awards (1st November), the ever-popular FStech Awards open until 7th November, and the WealthBriefing European Awards and PWM Wealth Tech Awards which share a 29th November deadline.  

Tech awards

Special mention for this month goes to the technology and computing sectors, and two awards programmes in particular – The Cloud Awards, established since 2011 (and now featuring a very cool fully AI ‘presenter’ in their videos) is open for entries until 1st November, and also consider Computing’s DevOps Excellence Awards open until 6th December.
