Nomination Terms & Conditions

The British Padel Awards 2026 celebrate the achievements of individuals, clubs, charities, and organisations making a positive impact within the sport of padel in the UK. By submitting a nomination, you agree to the following terms and conditions, which ensure fairness and integrity throughout the awards process.

1. Nomination Process

  • Nominees may only be entered into one individual category and/or one category on behalf of their club, company, or charity. If a nominee is submitted for more than one category, the judging panel will determine the most suitable category before public voting begins.
  • All nominees for the British Padel Awards 2026 are decided by the public, except for the Special Recognition Awards and Highly Commended Awards, which are chosen by the judging panel.
  • Finalists are determined solely by public vote.
  • Each nomination must include a summary of no more than 300 words, which will be published on the official British Padel Awards website.
  • Nominations are published as they are submitted. The organisers may carry out checks at any time, which may include reviews of club registrations, Companies House records, websites, and social media platforms, and reserve the right to remove any nomination that does not meet these requirements.

2. Nominee Image

Nomination forms must include a clear photograph of the nominee only. This image will be used for promotional purposes. Where we hold an email address for the nominee, we send them a private link they can use to replace that photograph with one they would rather we used.

3. Accuracy of Information

The British Padel Awards reserve the right to remove a nomination if any information provided is found to be false, misleading, or factually inaccurate.

4. Publicity

Nominations may be publicised across social media and promotional channels to raise awareness of the nominee. If you would prefer your nomination not to be shared in this way, please contact us at info@britishpadelawards.co.uk within 48 hours of submission.

5. Eligibility

Nominees must either live or work in the United Kingdom.

6. Sponsorship

  • Organisations that sponsor any part of the British Padel Awards are not eligible to nominate themselves for an award.
  • Individuals from sponsoring organisations may still be nominated, provided they have no involvement in the management or delivery of the sponsorship project.

7. Attendance

  • Finalists must be available to attend the awards ceremony on the date and at the venue specified by the organisers.
  • Each finalist will receive one complimentary ticket. Additional tickets can be purchased via the British Padel Awards website.
  • Attendees under the age of 18 are not permitted at the awards ceremony.

8. Contribution to the Community Award

  • The Contribution to the Community Award is open to padel clubs, charities, community groups, and social enterprises.
  • Nominees or finalists are not required to have a registered charity number to be eligible.

By submitting a nomination, you agree to comply with these terms and conditions. The British Padel Awards 2026 reserve the right to update these terms at any time without prior notice.
