Celebrate in-house excellence at the ‘In-house Creative & Print’ Conference 2026 – hosted by ACPME
2 June 2026, Glasgow Westerwood Hotel
We are passionate about championing people within the #ACPMEFamily as well as showcasing your achievements.
Whether you are a small team offering one core service or a large multi-service team, we want to celebrate the work accomplished by your team / organisation and to shout about it.
Build those internal relationships, collaborate, and communicate with colleagues in your organisation and enter the ACPME Awards 2026!
The ACPME Awards are presented at our Annual Conference and photos of winners and their work will appear in a commemorative issue of our printed magazine ‘Pages’.
You don’t have to attend Conference to enter the Awards, though we can’t recommend doing both highly enough. Celebrate successes. See what other people are producing.Grab some of the limelight and champion your service.
Submissions close: Friday 10 April 2026
Categories to recognise teams and individuals across a range of services
New and revised
2026 Awards categories
Every year we ask for members’ feedback on the awards and we tweak the categories so that every team feels there are categories relevant to them to enter.
This year we’ve renamed some of categories and sub-divided a few. Take a look at the criteria and start thinking now about which categories to enter.
You and your teams deserve recognition for their hard work. Make your staff feel valued by reflecting on your best projects and by showing them and your senior managers that you are proud of what you produce.

Celebrate work with colleagues across your organisation
Entries can include jobs created outside your own service, but within your institution – as long as they were completed in-house. For example, you may not manage your university’s design or photography team, but you can enter their in-house work.
Glasgow Westerwood Hotel will provide a fine setting for the 2026 ACPME Creative and Print Awards.
Get your glad rags ready for a memorable evening.

Remember not to leave it until the last minute. Keep any work you’ve done since the last conference in mind, and think about how any new projects could be ‘award winning’ entries for the future.
