There are only a few days left to enter the Gloucestershire Lifestyle & Community Awards 2026 – with entries closing on Sunday 15 February 2026.
Expanding on the success of the Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards by opening up entries to community groups and organisations for the very first time this year, the Gloucestershire Lifestyle & Community Awards celebrate the very best businesses, events, charitable organisations and community efforts in the county.
Proudly supported by headline co-partners, Made in Gloucestershire and Pro Global, along with an impressive collection of category partners, there are 17 categories to enter: from returning favourites like Sporting Venue, Entertainment Venue, Independent School and Event of the Year; hotly-contested categories like Restaurant, Cultural Venue and Family Day Out of the Year; to brand-new categories like the Fundraiser and Volunteer Award.
Providing plenty of opportunities to get your business, organisation or community group high-profile recognition, every entry goes through a rigorous shortlisting process – with the shortlist being revealed exclusively on SoGlos on Monday 2 March 2026, when the public will be able to vote for the entrants they want to see make it through as a finalist.
The finalists then go through a final judging stage, completed by representatives from our headline and category partners, to decide the winners and highly commended businesses.
Every finalist will be invited to the dazzling awards ceremony at Pittville Pump Room on Thursday 21 May 2026, where the winners will be revealed for the first time – including the overall Lifestyle & Community Business of the Year winner, handpicked by our headline co-partners, Made in Gloucestershire and Pro Global, from the winners of each category.
Entries are open until midnight on Sunday 15 February 2026 at soglos.com/lifestyle-community-awards.
All entries must be made through an official representative of the company or organisation — so make sure to send a link to the page above to anyone you want to see in the running.
