We love the Heist Awards. In fact, last year got pretty emotional when we saw how proud and inspired our guests were. Your campaigns, events and initiatives were truly sensational. Not just brave and innovative, but genuinely meaningful – in some cases life-changing. Everyone could see just how much talent there is in in our industry. So guess what? We’re doing it all again.   

Our winners will be announced at the Gala Awards evening on Thursday 10th July 2025 at the Royal Armouries, Leeds – and entries are officially open. So mark your calendars, and click here to download the 2025 categories and criteria. 
 
Best of luck to you all - we can’t wait to see you on the big day.

ABOUT THE HEIST AWARDS​

For over 30 years, the phrase ‘Heist Award’ has been synonymous with excellence and innovation in education marketing. Not only are the Heist Awards a time for celebrating the absolute best of our sector, but the awards night itself gives the hardworking marketing teams in higher and further education a chance to let their hair down. And after a show-stopping return in 2023, we're as ready as ever to celebrate the achievements of institutions across the education sector once again. To see the satisfaction of recognition settle in on the faces of overjoyed marketers, and applaud the brave institutions that said ‘yes’ to their bold ideas. 
Catch up on all the highlights from the 2024 awards evening in the video below, produced by Revolution Viewing.
