The 2026 Retail VM & Display Awards celebrates the best of retail design

The 2026 Retail VM & Display Awards proved to be an amazing spectacle at the Royal Lancaster Hotel London on 5th March, with well over 1,600 entries and a total sell-out with sensational support from the industry on finals night. This success has enforced its standing as one of the most prestigious awards evenings for the industry.

The Awards bring together some of the UK’s most influential creatives, retailers and suppliers in celebration of their considerable achievements for projects installed in the dedicated time frame. They recognise and reward the full VM retail sphere – from the smallest independent to the largest multiple – while acknowledging the suppliers involved. The winners of each prestigious Award are selected by an independent panel of industry experts, including our Editor Abbie Clark.

Andrew Colclough, Director of the Retail VM & Display Awards, said: “The retail visual merchandising and display world is truly alive and kicking. The exceptional talent in this field is reflected by the total dedication and hard work undertaken by everyone in retail, which these Awards show beyond doubt.”
