2026 SURF Awards

5 June 2026 By EVOC Communications Team

The SURF Awards are widely recognised as the most prestigious in the field of Scottish community regeneration.

This year, the 5 categories are:

  • Community Led Regeneration
  • Removing Barriers to Employability
  • Improving Scotland’s Places
  • Housing and Regeneration
  • Creative Regeneration

The SURF Awards are delivered each year by SURF, a regeneration forum with over 300 cross-sector member organisations across Scotland, in partnership with the Scottish Government, with additional support from category sponsors Creative Scotland, ng homes, Scottish Procurement Alliance, Scotland’s Town’s Partnership, and South of Scotland Enterprise.

The purpose is to highlight, celebrate and share the achievements of initiatives that address physical, social and economic challenges in communities across Scotland.

So, if you know of or work with a great project or you think the area that you live/work in is worthy of an Award, then get applying! It is a straightforward application form!

Feel free to share with those you think might be interested. Alternatively, you can nominate a project by completing an application form on their behalf as a nominating party.

Read the full press release here.

Information and application materials are available on the SURF website. 

Please download and read the Information Paper which contains the full criteria, and the helpful hints box on the website.

The closing date for applications is 5pm on Mon 7 Sep.
