ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED FOR 2026. WATCH THIS SPACE FOR NEXT YEAR’S AWARDS
Submitting a winning entry starts with reviewing the categories available this year, then answering a few simple questions (max word limit applies). All entries must be submitted via the awards platform to be eligible for consideration and must have taken place between November 2025 and October 2026. The links will be made live once the awards are officially launched on 9th July 2026.
The judging panel is made up of experts across industry and sector. Judged independently, winners are selected from a shortlist of the top entries. The judges then evaluate category winners against the criteria below and occasionally award a commendation to a close runner-up.
Exclusively for those aged 24 and under, these awards celebrate and support young people and their innovative ideas, whatever they may be.
Any idea large or small can be submitted for an award. Maybe you have opened an online store; organised a community project which is growing into something bigger; started a line of goods to sell; or even started on your journey by offering services to friends and family.
