Upcoming award deadlines (in the next two months)

MD & Founder, Boost Awards

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 in May and June. This is arguably the busiest time of year for awards deadlines so plenty of credible recognition to be gained.     

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 ideal time to get a date in your diary to plan which awards to enter in 2025 – 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, 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 14th May and include loads of categories, so something suitable for everyone. 

The Stevie Awards run a number of very well-established awards programmes – so if you are looking for international recognition definitely consider some of the following with deadlines fast approaching – The International Business Awards or the Stevie Awards for Great Employers, which both share an 11th June deadline. 

Other deadlines to look for include the prestigious CIPD People Management Awards (1st May but ask if they will extend further, you never know) and a little further away, The Growing Business Awards (30th May) and The Personnel Today Awards (13th June). The prestigious LDC Top 50 recognise the UK’s Most Ambitious Business Leaders, in partnership with The Times, so be sure to nominate by 9th May. We are big fans of the Business Culture Awards which are superbly organised and very credible (4th July). In the area of recruitment consider the Recruitment Marketing Awards (8th May) – very credible within the sector and definitely worth entering. Further afield, keep an eye out for the behemoth that is The HR Excellence Awards (1st August) – let us know if you want help with your entry as we are very experienced and successful entering these.        

Slightly further on the horizon but well worth entering now to get discounted entry, consider the UK Employee Experience Awards (6th June), or in the field of social mobility, consider both the Social Mobility Employer Index (9th June) and the UK Social Mobility Awards (27th June). The Index in particular has extensive entry requirements and we have a track record of success so contact us today to see how we can help you climb the rankings.  

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 PWM The Banker Global Private Banking Awards (9th May) and finally the ever-popular MoneyAge Awards with a 20th June deadline. Special mention to a new award that has launched by the folk at the long-standing Global Good Awards – new for 2025 The Global Good Finance Awards (23rd May) – bringing together finance and sustainability as one.     

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: NYX Awards (7th May), Muse Creative Awards (early bird deadline 15th May so save on entries), and finally the long-standing Marketing Week Awards (23rd May).  

Customer service awards

One of the biggest awards in the calendar is coming up, increasingly popular and highly competitive – enter The UK Customer Experience Awards before 16th May for an early bird discount, or if you need more time then the regular deadline is 4th July. 

Sustainability awards

It is a busy time for Sustainability Awards, with some very prominent programmes coming up. The Global Good Awards (9th May) are exceptional in the way that they are run and importantly by practicing the ethics that they promote – zero tolerance of greenwashing with these! Also consider the National Sustainability Awards (6th June) or the edie Net-Zero Awards (11th June). 

Tech awards

Special mention for this month goes to the technology and computing sectors, and a few awards programmes in particular – the highly credible SaaS Awards (23rd May), the Digital Transformation Awards which closes 14th May and further afield, the DotCOMM Awards (12th June), The Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence (13th June) and an exciting new award in the world of product design and innovation, the DaVinci Awards (17th June).  

Hopefully these highlights will provide insights to help you plan which awards to enter. Below you will find all the awards with deadlines occurring within the next two months, organised by industry sector. Remember, do please contact Boost if you need a helping hand entering any of these – our in-house team of experienced award writers have won over 2,000 awards, and can increase your chances of a win significantly. Now is a great time to get a planning session arranged so you can develop your awards strategy for the whole of the year.
