We’re excited to announce the categories for Our World Awards 2026! We’re keeping the same general categories as 2025, with one exciting addition.

Our new category, Our World Awards Active Citizenship, celebrates entries that make a tangible and sustainable difference within the school or local community. It recognises initiatives that address local, national, or global issues, empowering young people to take action and make an impact.  See the full list of 2026 categories in Take Part.

Take a look at our School Submissions to see last year’s shortlisted entries for inspiration. We can’t wait to see your entries!

Closing date: 23rd March 2026
