Submitting an entry into any of the TCT Awards categories is free of charge.
The entry period for the TCT Awards 2026 is 30th October 2025 to 17th December 2025.
Yes. If potential entries are distinctive and unrelated we welcome all submissions.
Project entries must have been publicly released between 1st January 2025 and 1st January 2026 to qualify.
We will contact all entrants by FEBRUARY 2026 to inform them if they have been shortlisted or not. Shortlisted entrants can confirm their finalist status by purchasing a finalist package.
The finalist package includes discounted ticket(s) to the awards ceremony plus discount codes for further tickets, alongside their finalist promotional pack consisting of social cards, digital finalist badge, listing on our website and coverage in TCT Magazine and across our TCT social media.
Entrants unable to commit to this finalist package will not move forward to become finalists. The confirmed list of finalists will be announced to the public by the end of February 2026.
A selection of over 20 industry experts will review the entries and give their scores based on strict judging criteria. The collective scores will result in one winner and highly commended for each category.
As much as we’d like to offer feedback on individual submissions, because of the sheer number of entries this is just not feasible.
Announcement of the winners will be made at the TCT Awards ceremony in Boston, USA on 14th April 2026. Tickets will be available soon!
Tickets will go on sale soon - so please watch this space!
