G26 Awards Postponement Confirmed
The G-Awards presentation and gala dinner night has been postponed until Friday 26 February 2027. The organisers confirmed this by email to judges, nominees and attendees in an email on 10 November.
The email read: ‘The decision to move the event has been made following careful consideration of a number of factors affecting this year's event and the wider industry. The industry continues to navigate a period of change, with shifting patterns and evolving challenges which have impacted timelines this year’.
Travel disruption
The organisers also cited engineering works that would likely affect National Rail services along with London Underground strike action over the original 27 November event weekend.
The email continued: ‘We want to ensure that everyone attending the G26 Awards has the best possible experience, with the opportunity to travel, connect and celebrate without unnecessary disruption.
‘While we appreciate that a change of date may be disappointing, we believe moving the event to February is the right decision for our guests, finalists, judges and industry partners. All bookings will transfer to the new date.
Good call
Brian Shillibeer of Installation Eye and one of the event judges said: “I think moving the G-Awards to February next year is a great decision. The late autumn event schedule has become crowded and money is tight across the industry…traveling to London for the awards and staying in London on a Friday evening is something special, especially if you are up for an award (the most prestigious in the industry) but I think many will welcome the move to February. It falls just over two months ahead of FIT Show 2027, a nice break between the two but presenting an opportunity for nominees and winners to promote their success at FIT and really get best value out of telling the market just how successful they have been. It will feel more immediate, whereas an award win in November will feel ‘out of date’ by the time we hit May.
“I congratulate the G-Award organisers for making this move. I for one would fix it as a February event going forward…but that is not my call to make.”
