Entry to the National Outdoor Event Association (NOEA) Awards is now open, with the event once again expected to grow in terms of categories, entries, and quality, as it continues to represent and reflect the very best of the UK outdoor events industry.
The awards have gone live early this year, allowing events and event producers across Britain to consider their events, their people, their partners, and support services, for one of the 20 award categories.
Last year the average entry per category went up by 15%, making them the most closely fought awards in the event’s history, and with the quality of finalists and winners continuing to surpass the judge committee’s expectations.
The awards will remain open throughout the summer, closing at the end of September, to ensure that they reflect the best of the 2025 summer season as well as both the end of 2024 and early 2025 winter and festive events.
“There is a growing energy and positivity amongst NOEA members. We’re looking forward to another season of events, and the ambition appears to be coming back into the industry,” commented Susan Tanner, CEO, NOEA. “This can only be a good thing for the awards, it means they will be more competitive, and with a wider and more diverse pool of entries. We’re really looking forward to seeing them all come in.”
In the meantime, NOEA continues to announce new sponsors of the awards, with Wasserman, GL events, Training4 Resilience, Lacey’s Solicitors all returning, again reflective of the increase interest in the event, but also the quality of businesses and brands looking to support the industry.
The NOEA Awards & Convention is due to take place 26th & 27th November 2025 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Bath and The Roman Baths and Pump Rooms.
