Dear Readers,
Oh what a night…only once a year does the House of Parliament see anything like the OpenUK Awards – the Oscars of Open Source, the OpenUK Awards. As special as ever in our 6th year and a long way from the remote awards of 2020.
Thanks to Dame Chi Onwurah, MP, for hosting us.
You can see photos from the evening here.
And the winners in the OpenUK 6th Annual Awards 2026
Congratulations to all shortlisted nominees who are all winners!!!
We are grateful to each organisation that provided a category judge and to the overall Judges, Liz Rice, Lisa Allen, and Nicolas Vibert.
The Awards wouldn’t be possible without the support of our sponsors. Thanks to our Awards sponsors Arm, AutoGPT, ControlPlane, CyberArk, Iain G. Mitchell KC, lowRISC CIC, Open Data Institute, and Red Badger and our general sponsors who make our work possible.
7th Annual Awards November 2026
We are delighted to share that our 2026 Judges are in place, and we are now looking for sponsors for the Awards, which will take place in November.
Thanks to each of you who attended, and if you were a nominee who either wasn’t shortlisted or who was shortlisted and didn’t win, please do nominate yourself next year. And for anyone who is inspired by last night to join our sponsors, do please get in touch.
We have our Christmas Party in London on 16 December and a Christmas lunch in Edinburgh on 22 December, as well as our Honours List to look forward to before we say goodbye to 2025.
The Honours List will be shared on New Year’s Day. Along with our awards, it forms part of our world-leading recognition program, so the year’s not quite over yet.
Please follow us on LinkedIn to keep up with our news as it happens between newsletters, and any questions to mailto:admin@openuk.uk.
Best wishes,
Amanda
