The Luton’s Best Awards, in partnership with Love Luton, celebrate the achievements of truly remarkable individuals and organisations who make Luton a better place.

The awards are now in their 16th year and aim to shine a light on the unsung heroes in the community.

Nominated by the public, previous winners have been from all walks of life, of all ages, and from all over the town. Their achievements are awe-inspiring and a lesson to us all. They say they are ordinary people, but quite often their acts are truly extraordinary.

Winners come from hundreds of public nominations and stories of remarkable individuals and organisations.

They are whittled down to a shortlist by the judging panel, which comprises of sponsors, who all have a stake in the future and success of our town.

There are awards for individuals and groups, young and old, for people working in the public sector and for organisations and businesses all who make our community a better place.

This is your opportunity to tell us about these people so that we can all say a big thank you.

Nominees are honoured at the glittering Luton’s Best Awards ceremony, which is being held at the Luton Hoo Conservatory.

This year’s event is booked for Friday 28th November 2025 and voting closes on Sunday 19th October.
