EVCOM has opened submissions for the Clarion Awards 2026, which recognise film, live and audio projects that deliver measurable social, environmental or community impact.
The awards celebrate work that demonstrates purpose driven communication, covering environmental responsibility, social good, education, wellbeing, inclusion and innovation. Entries must show evidence of impact rather than commercial success alone.
Two new categories have been added for 2026. AI for Good recognises the strategic and ethical use of artificial intelligence to enhance engagement and accessibility. Podcast: Purpose-Led Impact celebrates corporate podcasts that drive measurable social, cultural, environmental or organisational impact.
The awards also include two honours for emerging talent. The Focus Award recognises exceptional emerging filmmakers from under-represented ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. The Realise Award celebrates emerging event professionals from diverse backgrounds aged 18-25.
The early bird deadline is 13 March 2026, with final submissions closing on 5 April 2026. The awards ceremony will take place on 8 July 2026 at the London Stock Exchange.
