Get ready to celebrate the 6th annual National Social Media Awards London 2026!
Our awards celebrate the individuals and creators who have made the biggest impact within their respective categories. To ensure fairness and transparency, our voting process is divided into two stages: Nominations and Public Voting.
During the nomination period, the public can submit the names of individuals they believe deserve recognition in each award category.
Once nominations close, the top three (3) most-mentioned names in each division of a category will be shortlisted as official nominees.
For example, in the Best Fashion Influencer category, the shortlist may include:
This would result in a total of 9 nominees for that category.
Please note that not every category will include all divisions. For example, categories such as Social Media Couple of the Year may not have a Kids division and will only include the applicable nominee groups.
Once the official nominees have been announced, public voting will begin.
Votes can be submitted through:
To help promote the awards, every nominee will receive a personalised promotional flyer that they are encouraged to share across their social media platforms to invite supporters to vote.
Each nominee’s final score will be calculated using the combined total of the following:
All eligible votes, likes, and qualifying comments will be counted and added together.
The nominee with the highest overall point total in their category will be declared the winner.

Our goal is to ensure a fair, transparent, and exciting awards experience for every nominee and supporter.
