Judged independently by a panel of influential journalists and industry professionals drawn from the industry, the awards encourage, champion and develop skill at the highest level in built environment journalism and communications. The awards recognise work that informs, challenges and inspires audiences, with the winners in each category gaining peer recognition for their work, as well as being awarded £500. The overall winner is named IBP Journalist of the Year. **Entries for the 2026 IBP Awards are now open.** [Visit the awards site](https://ibp-awards.evessiocloud.com/ibpawards2026/en/page/home) ### Key dates for your diary ### Early bird deadline 1 September 2026 ### Entry deadline 8 September 2026 ### Shortlist announced October 2026 ### Awards ceremony 3 December 2026 - ![IBP_Awards_2025-1033](https://ibp.org.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/IBP_Awards_2025-1033.jpg?width=6048&height=4024&name=IBP_Awards_2025-1033.jpg) - ![IBP_Awards_2025-1010](https://ibp.org.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/IBP_Awards_2025-1010.jpg?width=6048&height=4024&name=IBP_Awards_2025-1010.jpg) - ![IBP_Awards_2025-1018](https://ibp.org.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/IBP_Awards_2025-1018.jpg?width=6048&height=4024&name=IBP_Awards_2025-1018.jpg) [![logo_purple](https://ibp.org.uk/hubfs/logo_purple.svg "logo_purple")](http:/?hsLang=en-gb) - [Home](https://ibp.org.uk?hsLang=en-gb) - [Join our community](https://ibp.org.uk/join-the-ibp?hsLang=en-gb) - [Contact](https://ibp.org.uk/contact-us?hsLang=en-gb) - [Privacy policy](https://ibp.org.uk/privacy-policy?hsLang=en-gb) - [Terms and conditions](https://ibp.org.uk/terms-and-conditions?hsLang=en-gb) --- ©IBP 2026.
