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

Welcome to our handy guide to awards with deadlines coming up this spring – it’s a great time to get recognition with lots of credible awards now open!  

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 March and include loads of categories, so something suitable for everyone. The BQF UK Excellence Awards (20th March) boasts a great selection of categories to enter. Other options worth keeping an eye on include the various Industry Eagles Awards (6th March), Noble Business Awards (12th March) and Inspiring Workplaces Awards UK & Ireland (4th March), all of which prove to be very popular each year.    

Other options for great employers looking for recognition might include The Sunday Times Best Places to Work Awards (powered by WorkL) which is survey-based and open until 31st March, The UK Employee Experience Awards (17th April) or the IoIC Awards (17th April) organised by the Institute of Internal Communications.  

The Princess Royal Training Awards (20th March) is highly prestigious, free to enter and comes with a whole host of benefits for entering. Read our guide to everything you need to know for entering PRTA in 2026. Also in the world of training, the Brandon Hall Excellence in Human Capital Management Program is now open until 10th April.         

Customer service awards

A few of the biggest awards in the calendar are coming up! Definitely consider entering the Excellence in Customer Service Award (6th March) for international recognition or if you need something closer top home then consider the UK Excellence Awards run by BQF (British Quality Foundation) open until 20th March or for a global option with a longer preparation time, The Customer Centricity World Series ( 5th May).        

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 – For a broad finance award consider Financial Services Eagles Awards (6th March) which is becoming increasingly popular, or more specific awards include Corporate Adviser Awards (6th March), Money Marketing Awards (20th March) and the Investment Life and Pensions Moneyfacts Awards (2nd April). 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. 

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: Hermes Creative Awards (19th March), the Muse Creative Awards (26th March), NYX Digital Awards (12th March), LIT Advertising Awards (5th March) and the ever-popular DRUM Marketing Awards EMEA which closes 19th March.  

Tech awards

Special mention for this month goes to the technology and computing sectors, and a few awards programmes in particular – The Cloud Security Awards – is very credible and has an entry period until 20th March, or further afield The UK Business Tech Awards (30th April). If you are looking for winnable international tech awards, then consider the Noble Technology Awards (last minute deadline 26th March) or The TITAN Innovation Awards (18th March but always extending).   

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