ITV bCreator Awards 2026 | The Timeline

After the exciting announcement that both ITV and Canon will be returning as partners of the ITV bCreator Awards 2026, we have had many questions about this year’s event - how to nominate, who the judges are, how to attend / get involved - so we thought we’d share some more information with you.

First of all, here’s an overview of the 2026 timeline:

• January: Early bird tables go on sale

• March: bCreator™ Committee Brunch + Opening of Nominations

• April: Nominations close

• June: Shortlist released and public voting commences

• September: Voting closes

• October: The ITV bCreator™ Awards 2026 ceremony

How to nominate:

When nominations open in March, you can nominate directly through the bCreator website. It is free to nominate. You only need one nomination to be considered. You can nominate yourself. We will send a reminder out to the subscribers of this newsletter when nominations open, so make sure to hit the subscribe button below if you haven’t already.

Who are the judges?:

The ITV bCreator Awards 2026 are judged by a mix of public vote (40%) and bCreator committee (60%). The bCreator committee is a panel of judges that is made up of creator economy experts: this includes our sponsors, brand representatives, creator agencies, talent agencies and - of course - creators.

You can see who was on the 2025 bCreator committee HERE. We will be announcing who is on the 2026 bCreator committee soon…

What is the bCreator committee brunch?:

The bCreator committee brunch is a networking event for our judges. We bring them all together to discuss developments within the creator economy, upcoming trends and business opportunities within the space. It’s an opportunity to forge direct relationships, share industry news and get excited about the year ahead. We open nominations for the Awards during the event.

How to attend the ITV bCreator Awards 2026:

To attend the Awards as a creator, you would either need to be shortlisted or part of the judging committee. To attend the Awards as a brand or agency, you/your team would need to purchase a table to the event. You can register your interest in reserving a table HERE.

We hope that the above has been useful!
