Edinburgh is a city with a rich creative history, and at the heart of that story are the people who take risks, challenge ideas, create new work and open up new possibilities. For 15 years, Creative Edinburgh has championed the people, ideas and organisations that make Edinburgh’s creative community so vibrant.
This year, we’re celebrating a very special milestone: 15 years of Creative Edinburgh. This year’s Awards are a celebration of that legacy; and of the artists, makers, designers, musicians, performers, creative practitioners and communities who continue to shape the cultural life of our city.
At the 2026 Creative Edinburgh Awards Ceremony, we will reveal this year’s winners and recognise those who have made an outstanding contribution to Edinburgh's creative landscape.
Join us as we raise a glass to 15 years of creativity, collaboration and ambition - and to the creative voices that shape our city's creative story.
