Winners will be announced at the M&IT Awards 2026 on Friday 18 September at JW Marriott Grosvenor House London.
There are no speeches on the night; winners will be called up on stage to collect their award and have their picture taken with the host. However, Gold winners will have the opportunity to say a few words in an exclusive interview with our editorial team immediately after they’ve come off the stage after collecting their award.
The winners of our 15 voted for categories are decided by the votes of event organisers, which are then independently audited by the Audit Bureau of Circulations to determine the winners. The winners of our four judged categories (Chris Peacock Rising Star of the Year, Personality of the year, M&IT Editor’s Award and the M&IT Elevate Award), are judged by M&IT Editor, Paul Harvey, in conjunction with our independent panel, who have distinguished themselves in their field, and demonstrate exceptional industry knowledge, experience, and vision. We hold our judges to the highest standards of fairness and integrity.
