Key dates

Applications open to all UK think tanks on Monday 1st June and close at 5pm on Friday 31st July. In August a first sift of applications will take place with all entries being reviewed by at least two separate judges. Those that are successful at this stage will proceed to the main judging session on 19th October where the entire judging panel will convene and go through each category to decide on the final shortlists and winners.

We will announce some shortlists ahead of the awards ceremony at the beginning of November. All other winners and shortlisted think tanks will be announced at the awards ceremony on Wednesday 18th November.
