The annual Chelsea Awards are back next year: an opportunity to recognise Chelsea institutions who help create, evolve and maintain Chelsea’s unique character, spirit and ethos. 

This year especially, it’s a wonderful way to show your support after such a difficult period for the retail and hospitality sector.

From cake-makers to coffee shops, artisans to art galleries, now’s the time to honour the businesses who make Chelsea the brilliant and unique place that it is.

Whether you are a retailer, resident or simply a visitor, if you have someone in mind whose business or institution contributes significantly to the local neighbourhood, nominate them on The Chelsea Awards website. Candidates will be put forward to an independent panel of judges, with winners announced at an awards ceremony on 26 January at the Saatchi Gallery.

There are eight categories in total, including Community Hero, Cultural Champion and In Good Taste – the perfect category for that café or barista who makes your morning commute a little bit special.

This year, new category Compassion in Crisis has been added, to recognise an individual or business that has adapted and served the community during the Covid-19 pandemic.

View all eight categories and vote here. Nominations close on 10 December.
