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.

Combined with our Birthday Bash, every autumn we get together to don the dancing shoes, raise a glass and cheer on our fellow creatives.

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.

2024 Creative Edinburgh Awards

The 2024 Creative Edinburgh Awards will take place in November later this year and will promise another evening of celebration and connection with our creative community.

The Awards are now open for Sponsorship! Sponsorship plays a vital role in celebrating Edinburgh’s creative community. It’s also a great opportunity to showcase your brand and show your support to a unique audience comprising engaged, socially conscious and innovative freelancers, small businesses and organisations.
