To help you consider whether your project might be suitable for the Housing Technology Awards, we recommend reading some of our winners’ stories from the 2024 and 2025 Housing Technology Awards.
The categories (entrants may enter up to three categories) for the Housing Technology Awards 2025/26 are:
Please note that projects/programmes such as data management, HMS migration, asset management or repairs/maintenance (purely as examples) would fit into one or more of the above award categories, depending on the specifics of your project/programme.
If you and your team are proud of the work youhave accomplished in these areas, we welcome you and your team to take part inthe awards, irrespective of the size of your organisation (size will be taken into account when assessing the award entries).
The Housing Technology Awards are only open to UK & Ireland social housing organisations (RSLs) and other UK & Ireland providers of social housing, such as ALMOs and local authorities. All entrants must be Housing Technology subscribers (you can subscribe here free of charge). Third-party organisations, such as IT suppliers, business consultancies and PR companies, wishing to enter the awards (by proxy) can only do so via their housing customers. Award entries can only be submitted via an email address associated with a housing provider’s web domain. Entries must relate to projects, teams and activities taking place within the past 18 months (as of 01 September 2025). Please note that if the minimum number of entries for a category is not reached, the award will be discontinued; we will inform relevant entrants if applicable.
The Housing Technology Awards 2025/26 are open for entries from 01 September 2025 until midnight on 31 December 2025. All entries will be acknowledged by Housing Technology by email.

Entrants are advised that HousingTechnology’s internal team (who will short-list the entries) and our external housing panel (who will then judge the short-listed entries) will use the framework below when assessing the entries. Entrants are strongly advised to compose their entries accordingly to highlight their achievements and details of their project as clearly as possible. The external judging panel of seniorIT/business executives from UK & Ireland social housing organisations (andother external organisations at Housing Technology’s discretion) will be selected and invited by Housing Technology. The judges will not assess any entries from their own organisations nor from any organisation with which theyhave any commercial or corporate involvement. Neither Housing Technology nor its external judges will enter into discussions regarding individual award submissions and their subsequent assessments.
