About the award

Fuelled by connection, and propelled forward through shared purpose, our wide range of members generate outstanding results from thousands of powerful projects for brands around the world.

That energy is never more culpable than when we celebrate excellence at the BIMA Awards Ceremony. Where regional, independent agencies stand side-by-side with global networks and where bleeding-edge tech meets captivating creativity.

Our members bring something different to every part of BIMA Awards each year – whether entering or judging, shortlisting or winning, as next-gen talent or as seasoned experts.

This community represents diversity and ingenuity. This year, the BIMA Awards celebrates our shared “eclecticity”!

Why enter?

It’s not about the size of your agency or PR budget. It’s not about the sector, format or channel. BIMA Awards are about original thinking. It’s about impact. It’s about something you did – or something you’re doing – that could influence the next decade.

It’s a level playing field for big agencies and small, new or niche companies. Entering is quick and easy. There are 20+ categories and you’ll be judged by the very best in the business, from within our eclectic membership.

We believe that all BIMA members are part of an eclectic category of ingenious creators and innovators – that’s why our annual Awards are now positioned as having a unique focus. Our awards categories will now be separated into three areas of British Ingenuity, we need to celebrate them all to succeed on a world stage.

Entries for the 2026 have closed and the 2027 awards open in April 2027. Remember: BIMA Members get their first entry for free!
