WELCOME TO THE TRAVEL MEDIA AWARDS 2025

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN TRAVEL MEDIA


OPEN FOR ENTRIES

The Travel Media Awards, established in 2015, is the UK’s premier awards event dedicated to recognising excellence in travel media. In its 11th year, the awards celebrate the very best in journalism, photography, and broadcasting, with an expanded range of 24 categories for 2025, including the brand-new Cruise Travel Writer of the Year and Content Creator of the Year awards.


Each category is judged by a distinguished panel of travel industry professionals and senior editors, ensuring a rigorous and fair selection process. At least 25% of judges are new each year, and no judge reviews the same category annually.
