BVA Awards 2026

The BVA Awards are back for 2026, bigger and better than ever.

We’re celebrating outstanding vets and veterinary teams from across the profession who are making a real difference to people, animals and the planet.

Award nominations open in January and we want to hear about talented colleagues who are: going above and beyond for their patients and clients; pushing the boundaries of veterinary science; supporting wellbeing and positive workplace culture; delivering inspirational leadership and mentoring; and driving positive change across sustainability.

Alongside our established awards, like the highly prestigious BVA Young Vet of the Year, we’re launching three new award categories:

New for 2026:

BVA Veterinary Mentor Award
BVA One Health and Sustainability Award
BVA Veterinary Leader Award

We'll be releasing more details about individual award criteria soon.
