A final call has been made for entries for the first ever Plumber Awards, with the January 31 deadline fast approaching.

The free-to-enter awards celebrate the best plumbers in the UK and offer tradespeople the chance to be recognised for their work and win prizes from sponsors.

There are 11 regional awards up for grabs, with the winner from each region going through to the final stage of the competition to be in with the chance of being crowned the national winner.

Plumbers are being encouraged to enter to showcase their work and make the most of the opportunities that come with winning an award such as this.

The winners will be determined through a combination of judges’ scores, a public vote, and then a technical challenge to decide the national winner. The judging panel is comprised of industry experts, professional bodies, and fellow plumbers.

Regional winners will be announced in March 2026 and the national winner will be crowned on stage at InstallerSHOW 2026, held at the NEC in Birmingham in June.

To enter, apply here. The awards are for plumbers working on domestic projects only, and to be eligible, they must be 18 or over and hold an NVQ 2 or 3 in England, Wales and NI or an SNVQ3 only in Scotland as a minimum.
