All entries go forward to an initial round of judging (stage 1) undertaken by our senior editorial team.  This will decide on the 2026 finalists.

The 2026 finalists will be announced on the awards website, via newsletter and on Insurance Times’ social media platforms on Tuesday 22nd September.

No, the judges' comments on individual entries and presentations and the deliberation process are strictly confidential.

An email will be sent to the person who submitted the entry (and anyone cc'd) confirming the good news and this will detail the stage 2 judging process and what the next steps are.

Stage 2 requires all finalists to present to our judges at a virtual meeting on Wednesday 21st and/or Thursday 22nd October. Please note: If you are shortlisted in multiple categories you may be required to present on both days. Presentations should complement your written submission, be evidence-based and include an overview of what you do and how you do it, with clear examples of where you have excelled and gone the extra mile. Additional information regarding the date, time slot and expected content will be emailed to each finalist once the schedule has been confirmed – usually a week or so after the official announcement.

The results are always kept strictly under wraps until the night of the awards ceremony – there are never any exceptions. Even if you ask us really nicely!
