BUSINESSES, individuals and community groups can now put themselves forward for a major regional award.
The Coventry & Warwickshire Business and Community Awards 2026 were launched at a special event at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry earlier this month, and entries will remain open until Friday November 28.
The awards, presented by the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, attracted hundreds of entries in their first year and the celebration event was enjoyed by more than 600 people from business, civic life and the wider community.
Corin Crane, chief executive of Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “We are so excited to do this all again.
“When we decided to put on an awards show that was different earlier this year we knew we were taking a risk because we were going against the grain of your ‘ordinary’ awards night.
“But it was such a fantastic event with an amazing buzz in the room and so much positive feedback that we knew we were onto a winner. Other Chambers even got in touch straight away to say they were thinking of doing the same.
“So, my advice to businesses, community groups and individuals across Coventry and Warwickshire is to get your entry in and be part of a fantastic occasion and, if you win, you can shout about an incredible achievement too.”
Laura Elliot, CEO of the Belgrade Theatre, said: “It was an honour to be able to host so many people and businesses from across Coventry and Warwickshire at this year’s inaugural Awards, and we can’t wait to do it all over again next year.
“I’ve no doubt it will be a fantastic celebration of all the incredible work that goes on in our region, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Belgrade.”
The Awards Celebration Evening will take place on Thursday, April 23 at the Belgrade Theatre.
