Stone Federation Great Britain has announced that entry for the Natural Stone Awards 2026 is now open.
The Natural Stone Awards is a biennial event set up by Stone Federation and has established itself as the most prestigious awards event in the natural stone industry calendar. The Awards celebrate and recognise the excellence of design in natural stone projects from across the industry. Each year the Awards see work from throughout the British Isles entered across the various categories.
The Awards provide a chance for the industry to showcase the wide range of applications possible with natural stone and to demonstrate that it is the ideal building material, providing architects, designers and clients with a sustainable, durable and attractive end product.
Entries can be made by anyone involved in the project including the architect, main contractor, stone contractor, stone supplier, client or building owner. The 2026 Awards see the introduction of a number of new categories, including Structural Stone and Reuse & Retrofit which will open the Awards to an even wider section of the industry.
Stone Federation’s Chief Executive, Jane Buxey commented, “We are encouraging all those involved in the natural stone industry to enter their projects into the Natural Stone Awards 2026. This is a great opportunity to gain widespread recognition for your practice or company and products or services that you provide.”
