Entries are now open for the 2026 CMA Awards, celebrating the campaigns, teams, and individuals delivering real impact across the built environment.
Following our landmark 25th anniversary in 2025, our biggest and most successful programme to date, the CMA Awards once again return for 2026 with 21 categories recognising the full breadth of modern marketing, from AI and marketing technology to brand, campaigns, and social value.
The CMA Awards are your opportunity to:
- Showcase your best work to the industry
- Be assessed by senior leaders from across the sector
- Benchmark your performance against your peers
- Raise your profile with clients, colleagues, and partners
We have introduced clearer judging criteria across all categories, giving you full visibility of how your work will be assessed, with each entry scored against defined, equally weighted measures.
We are also delighted to announce that the CMA Awards Dinner will be held at one of London’s most distinctive Art Deco venues on Thursday 19 November 2026.
The Bloomsbury Ballroom provides a new setting for the industry’s biggest night, with more time to celebrate and connect with the party, by popular request, now running through to 2am.
