It's here. Almost 3 months after their launch, the shortlists in the 10th annual UnAwards are LIVE.
by Darren Caveney
With a record-equalling 593 entries this year the team of 35 external judges have had an almighty job deciding on the shortlists. But decide they have.
The magic link to the shortlists is HERE.
You choose
Remember to choose your favourites in the three public vote categories: Best Comms Team, Best Guest Post of 2025, and the Lifetime Achievement UnAward.
You can do that now HERE. The public vote closes on Monday 24 November, midnight.
Ticket scramble...
If you're shortlisted there now begins a scramble for tickets to be at the big day. The capacity is strictly limited to 141 and the event sells out every year.
Tickets are limited to two per organisation max in order to get as many of you there as possible.
I will also set up a waiting list so please message me once tickets are sold out and I will add you to this.
Get your tickets HERE.
I'm so excited to see you at our spiritual home - the Everyman Cinema, Birmingham - on Friday 5 December to announce the winners, and to celebrate your incredible efforts again this year. You genuinely are all winners.
Good luck.
Saying thanks
Huge thanks go to the team of 35 external judges who who undertaken the task of creating our shortlist. I am so grateful to all of you.
