The search is now on for the best and brightest UK freelancers – as well as the people and businesses who do most to support the self-employed community.

We understand freelancers are one of the most important and hard-working groups in the economy. That’s why we we’re running the IPSE Freelancer Awards 2021: to champion freelancers and recognise innovation and excellence in the self-employed community.

We want to hear your freelancing stories from the last two years, and why you should be an IPSE Award Winner.  Back by popular demand are the Outstanding Freelancer Award, Young Freelancer Award for those under 30 years old, Freelancing Project Award and New Freelancer Award.

The Coronavirus pandemic has been extremely tough on the self-employed. And this year IPSE wants to recognise individuals who have done something incredible to help others during the pandemic.  This will be celebrated in the new category of Covid-19 Success Story of the Year Award.

Plus, we’re introducing more new and exciting categories including the Collaboration Award, Wellbeing Award – open to freelancers and businesses – and the Best Self-Employed Supplier Award.

The deadline for nominations is Friday 6 August. The application process is straightforward and completely free: you just need to fill in the relevant nomination form based on the last two years of work. You will be asked a few simple questions and for those that are shortlisted, you will be invited to pitch for an Award at a virtual judging day in September.  There is no limit as to how many categories you can submit a nomination for!

The IPSE Awards Ceremony will take place on Thursday 14 October at Kings Place, London.
