INCA AWARDS 2025 - SHORTLIST

Thank you to everyone who submitted entries into the INCA Awards 2025. Once again we have had record numbers of entries spread across all the different project categories. Shortlisting has therefore been incredibly difficult and final judging was even more so.

The shortlisted finalists have been carefully selected on a fair and accurate scoring basis by fully independent panels of judges. INCA are pleased to announce the INCA Awards finalists shortlist for 2025. I’m sure you’ll agree, some amazing projects which truly represent the best in EWI across the diverse range of categories. Congratulations go to all finalists – this in itself is a real achievement.

The category winners will be announced on the night of the awards ceremony on Thursday 6th November 2025, at the Queens Hotel in Leeds.
