The Learning Technologies Awards are the most independent and sought-after awards in the industry. They recognise the commitment, enthusiasm and passion for learning technologies across the world. Finalists are selected by an independent judging panel of experts organised by the eLearning Network.

The Awards Ceremony will take place on 17 November 2021 at the prestigious Park Plaza Westminster Bridge hotel. 

Applicants have until 30 June 2021 to register entries and until 30 July 2021 to submit them. The shortlist is announced in early September. Most categories require a presentation to a judging panel in late September or October, ahead of the winners being announced during the Awards Ceremony in November.

How to enter the Learning Technologies Awards

“There is no greater recognition of your hard work and commitment to the learning industry than winning a Learning Technologies Award in the presence of your peers,” explains event organiser Mark Penton.

“Any organisation anywhere in the world, whether public, private or non-profit sector, regardless of size or industry, can enter these world-recognised awards. There are lots of reasons why entering makes good business sense.”

“As well as being a terrific way to showcase the quality of work people produce to as many potential customers as possible, it's also an opportunity to look at your business from a different perspective and compare yourself to your competitors. Winning or even just being shortlisted for an award is an independent endorsement that sets you apart from your competitors,” added Penton.

“Rest assured that we are working closely with the venue and following government guidelines to ensure we run the event as safely as possible. We want to ensure that everyone gets to celebrate the great and hard work of the L&D sector and are looking at all options available to make sure this happens.”

The glittering gala evening, where the winners are exclusively revealed, will take place on 17 November 2021 at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel in London.

To enter an award organisations first need only choose their categories and register before the June 30 deadline

There are 20 awards categories to choose from. The complete list of categories for the 2021 programme is available via the Learning Technologies Awards website.
