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 22nd April and include loads of categories, so something suitable for everyone. Other options worth keeping an eye on include the various Industry Eagles Awards (extended to 10th April), Noble Business Awards (6th May) and DaVinci Business Awards (10th April), all of which prove to be very popular each year.   

It’s fair to say that it’s the start of HR and training awards season, with a number of very prominent awards now open. The UK Employee Experience Awards (17th April) boasts a great selection of categories to enter and is highly credible. The Workplace Savings & Benefits Awards launched recently (20th May) and always prove competitive, while the CIPD People Management Awards (30th April) remains one of the behemoths in the sector.   

In the world of training, the Brandon Hall Excellence in Human Capital Management Program is now open until 10th April but we are hopeful of an extension based on previous years. Also consider the British Training Awards open until 1st May.           

Customer service awards

A few of the biggest awards in the calendar are coming up! The Customer Centricity World Series (5th May) is a short term option, but further afield we are already seeing a lot of interest in the UK Customer Experience Awards (26th June) and the Engage Awards (13th July) so if you need expert help entering these then contact us asap before we are fully booked up.          

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 (10th April) which is becoming increasingly popular, or more specific awards include the Investment Life and Pensions Moneyfacts Awards (2nd April), Corporate Adviser Awards (provider categories 17th April), Global Good Finance Awards (15th May) and the MoneyAge Awards open until 5th June. 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: LIT Advertising Awards (2nd April), Viddy Awards (2nd April) Hermes Creative Awards (16th April), the Muse Creative Awards (8th April), NYX Digital Awards (16th April), and the ever-popular and high profile Cannes Lions Awards which closes 9th April.  

Sustainability awards

If you want to enter a sustainability award that practices what it preaches, look no further than the Global Good Awards, an ethically run programme rewarding the best in sustainable change (regular deadline 8th May).  

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 3rd April, 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 8th April) or The TITAN Innovation Awards (22nd April but usually extending). Also consider The SaaS Awards (22nd May) celebrating the most innovative software solutions providers.    

Hopefully these highlights will provide insights to help you plan which awards to enter in the coming months. 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 2,500 awards, and can increase your chances of a win significantly.
