Celebrate the people, projects and places shaping South Yorkshire at the Sheffield Design Awards 2026.

Join us as we celebrate the people, projects and places shaping Sheffield and the wider region.

The Sheffield Design Awards return for 2026, bringing together the city’s architecture and design community for an evening celebrating great design and its contribution to the places where we live, work and spend our time.

Following the announcement of our 18 shortlisted projects, it’s time to find out which will take home this year’s awards.

From thoughtful homes and heritage transformations to healthcare, education, landscape and ambitious civic projects, this year’s shortlist demonstrates the breadth of great design happening across Sheffield and South Yorkshire.

Join us for an evening of architecture, conversation and celebration, as we reveal the 2026 winners, including the People’s Choice Award, chosen by the public.

Whether you’re an architect, designer, student, client, built-environment professional or simply someone who cares about the places that make Sheffield special, we’d love you to join us.

Come along, celebrate great design and raise a glass to the people making it happen.
