Celebrate Belfast’s Educators at the 14th Annual Blackboard Awards 2026
Join us for a special gala evening at the Europa Hotel as we honour the incredible dedication and impact of Belfast’s teachers.
Our schools are the heartbeat of a thriving Belfast — and at their core are the educators who work tirelessly to help every student shine. In classrooms across the city, children are empowered to believe in themselves and behind each of them stands a teacher, teaching assistant, principal, or support staff member championing their success.
The Blackboard Awards 2026 offer a unique opportunity to celebrate these everyday heroes, the individuals who lead with passion, commitment and care.
Nominations are now CLOSED for teachers, classroom assistants, principals, and school support staff who represent the very best in education across Belfast. Help us shine a spotlight on those who make a lasting difference in our classrooms.
This is event is support by St Marys University College, Flynn Construction, H&J Martin, Finnebrogue and Clifton House.
