Fit Out Awards 2026 now accepting entries

Ireland's fit-out community is invited to enter the Fit Out Awards 2026, with submissions open and the deadline set for 7 August.

Entries opened on 2 June, with companies and individuals now encouraged to register and submit ahead of the August closing date.

Finalists will be announced on 24 September, before the awards gala takes place on 25 November 2026 at the Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road.

Hosted by broadcaster Hector Ó hEochagáin, the awards ceremony will bring together hundreds of senior executives from across the Irish fit-out industry, providing a platform to connect with the sector's most influential figures and leading talent.

Submissions are evaluated by an independent judging panel of industry leaders, international designers, commentators and fit-out practitioners.

Shortlisted entrants receive national exposure through communications partner The Irish Times, while winners take home a prestigious accolade and national media coverage.

Running since 2012, the awards recognise exceptional fit-out projects and the talented teams behind them, celebrating achievement across design, contracting, project management and sustainability.

The 2026 programme spans 32 categories covering the full scope of the sector, from Fit Out Project of the Year and Fit Out Contractor of the Year to sector-specific project categories across office, hospitality, residential, retail, healthcare, industrial and public sector. Excellence-focused categories include Sustainable Fit Out Project of the Year, Excellence in Design Collaboration, Excellence in Health and Safety and Fit Out Product of the Year.
