Now in its third year, the awards celebrate Scotland’s leading voices in social media, recognising influencers for their storytelling and positive impact on brands, communities and culture.

“The awards recognise excellence across Scotland’s social media community, and the positive contribution many are making towards the country’s image and appeal at home and internationally.
“Nominees will be trusted voices; independent and passionate arbiters of good taste in their respective fields, with the power to propel messaging to their highly engaged followers.
“These stars of social play an important role in bringing stories and campaigns to life, and we are happy to once again be shining a spotlight on the best of the nation’s influencer talents.

New for 2026 is the Business Influencer of the Year category, which will spotlight individuals using social media to drive entrepreneurship, business success and innovation.
Special recognition will also be given to influencers championing diversity, equality and inclusion.
A standout category for 2026 is Sport Influencer of the Year, which made its debut in 2024.
The inaugural winner in 2024, three-time World’s Strongest Man Tom Stoltman, was recognised for his strength both in the sporting arena and in tackling the stigma surrounding autism.
Winners will receive a specially designed award crafted by Argyll-based foundry Midton, using its Remade recycled acrylic material.
The sustainable design supports the awards’ commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Nominees must be Scottish-born or based in Scotland and must have shared informative, original and creative content in 2025/2026 across one or more of the award categories.
Entries can be submitted via the official website.
