Entries for the 2026 LGC Awards are now officially closed.
This year has been truly exceptional. We are proud to announce that we received over 1,000 entries — a record-breaking milestone and something that has never been achieved before. The response from across the sector has been outstanding, and it reflects the incredible quality, innovation and commitment within local government.
The Shortlist will be announced shortly, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to enter. Preparing an awards submission takes significant effort, and we are extremely grateful to every individual and organisation who put themselves forward.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our judging panel, who now have the formidable task of reviewing and scoring a record number of entries. Their dedication and expertise are truly appreciated.
