ENTERING
All entries must be submitted before 23:59 on 17 December 2025.
For each entry it is important to address and demonstrate why your innovation, project or solution should win the category. To do this, we are keen to hear about the why, the problem or challenge, as well as what you did to tackle that challenge. In your entry we encourage you to share the impact, the results achieved and what it means to stakeholders.
The awards are completely open to anyone. There are no restrictions on when your project happened or its current status (for example, whether it is presently at pilot stage).
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
If you’re fortunate enough to be shortlisted as a finalist in our HTN Now Awards, your project will be featured on our website where we’ll share details of your idea or innovation and the impact it’s making across health and care.
We’ll also share your entry across the HTN network, on social media and in our newsletter, celebrating your team and giving your project the recognition it deserves. Plus, all finalists will receive a digital finalists logo to share with their own network.
Our esteemed judges will narrow down the finalists so that we have a highly commended entry and a winner. Both will be shared in our digital awards ceremony before being featured on the HTN website and social channels. Finalists will then be sent the coveted ‘H’ HTN trophy featuring the name of their project and the category they won, completely free of charge.
JUDGING
For the HTN Now Awards 2025/26 we assemble a fantastic group of NHS and public sector judges from across health and care, from a range of backgrounds, professions, and healthcare settings.
