Entries for the 2026 Housing Executive Awards are now closed, and we are delighted to say we have seen a record number of nominations.
After a triumphant inaugural year in 2025, the Housing Executive Awards will return to Bolton in October for another night of celebration, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the awards once again and give recognition to the people that make the sector what it is today.
Nominations are now being prepared to be sent over to our expert judging panel, who will have the difficult task of narrowing our nominations down into the official shortlists for each category. The awards night will be hosted by Elaine Willcox, a BAFTA-winning journalist with almost three decades of experience and Lead Correspondent for ITV Granada.
