The LGC Awards is the premier event of the local government calendar. The event exists to identify, celebrate, and help showcase the finest examples of innovation and quality delivered by councils on a daily basis.

Digital Impact Award goes to the council that can best show how its use of digital technology is significantly improving outcomes for its residents and/or place.

The Future Places Award recognises councils which are using their spending power to engage creatively with innovative suppliers to accelerate decarbonisation and climate resilience, enable greater inclusion, and harness digital technologies.

Innovation Award is intended to celebrate councils which have used innovation to re-think services in order to achieve better outcomes for citizens and communities either at less cost, to improve outcomes or delivery, or in order to continue delivery of service during the pandemic.

Councils no longer work in isolation. Increasingly they work with other councils, public sector bodies, private firms, or voluntary sector organisations to devise more seamless, more efficient, and integrated services. The Partnership Award is intended to showcase the whole range of partnership working.
