We’re receiving a lot of enquiries about the key dates for the Inspire Awards 2021.

The 2020 awards were delayed because of the COVID-19 crisis. As a result of this, we have made the decision to merge the 2020 and 2021 Inspire Awards, which I am delighted to announce will take place at Emirates Old Trafford on Thursday 8^th July 2021.

All existing submissions will automatically be transferred to the 2020/21 awards, but you will also have the option to revise your entry and re-submit if you wish.

Nominations are now open and the key deadlines for the Inspire Awards 2021 are:

Entry deadline: 26th March

Shortlist announcement: 21^st May

Please note:  The final decision as to whether we will hold a live award ceremony or whether we host the awards virtually, will be made when the shortlist for the 2021 awards is announced. This decision will depend on the UK’s COVID-19 situation and the UK government’s COVID 19 regulations at the time.

Thank you for your continued patience.
