SightCare Awards 2026 — Independent Optometry's Night to Shine
The SightCare Awards return on Sunday, 26 April 2026, at Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham, as part of the two-day SightCare LIVE 2026 conference and expo.
Now in its sixth year, it is the headline national celebration of independent optical excellence — practices, clinical achievement, business innovation and community impact all recognised on the same night.
SightCare CEO Emma Rawlings described the awards as a way of shining a light on the remarkable people and practices doing incredible things every day across the independent sector.
If your practice has entered or you're attending — good luck. If you missed this year, nominations for 2027 will open later.
The full list of categories and this year's finalists is at sightcare.co.uk
