The Creative Edinburgh Awards
Since 2012, we’ve been celebrating the city’s creative community at our annual Creative Edinburgh Awards, highlighting the projects, people and places that flourish across Edinburgh and continually ensuring its place on the cultural map, nationally and internationally!
The 2025 Creative Edinburgh Awards are now live! Submit your nominations now and get your tickets to join us at the official Awards Ceremony on Friday 14 November.
The Awards Pillars
The Creative Edinburgh Awards celebrates three key pillars of the creative community:
People: We celebrate the people elevating the creative industries and communities within it through collaboration, leadership, inclusivity, resilience, and vision.
Place: We celebrate the places strengthening Edinburgh’s rich cultural identity through the growth of a community, amplification of values and development of city spaces.
Projects: We celebrate projects making an impact on Edinburgh’s creative scene while demonstrating innovation, responsiveness, integrity, and boldness.
