The OT Excellence Awards are business awards for the whole OT sector and it is exciting that they receive support from OT Today as official Media Partner and from the OT Show as Exhibition Partners. Further support is being sought from sponsors wishing to associate themselves with excellence in OT.
The Awards are UK-based, though they do attract some entries from overseas from companies working in the UK. They are impartial and independent and look to reward relevant, appropriate, innovative, excellent and effective initiatives, treatments, techniques, products and services, wherever they may be found. Each year the Awards are open to in-house teams and services, to external professional practitioners, to universities and to suppliers to the sector. The categories for 2027 have been completely overhauled and re-grouped in a way that should prove helpful for all entrants. As in previous years, entries are judged by an independent, expert panel of judges.
OT practitioners are able to enter the 2027 Awards for a modest fee of £50.00 per entry plus VAT, as applicable.
Universities offering OT courses are asked to pay a fee £100.00 plus VAT, per entry.
OT supplier companies are asked to pay a reasonable fee of £150.00 plus VAT for any entry they make.
Charities can enter the Awards completely FREE OF CHARGE
