Inspiring Dyslexia Awards Set to Celebrate Extraordinary Talent in 2026

The Dyslexia Awards, a celebrated initiative that recognizes and honors the achievements of dyslexic individuals, is gearing up for an impactful event this autumn in the West Midlands. The founder, Elizabeth Wilkinson MBE, is thrilled to announce that nominations are now open for what promises to be an inspiring celebration of talent and perseverance.

A Showcase of Diverse Talents

This year’s awards will feature eight categories designed exclusively for dyslexics, highlighting their diverse skills across various fields. A notable addition to the awards is the STEMM Award, which will recognize significant contributions from dyslexic individuals over 18 in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or medicine. The Young Innovator Award, targeting those aged 14-19, is another new feature aimed at celebrating younger talents.

Empowering Young Entrepreneurs

The Young Entrepreneur Award continues its tradition of honoring dyslexics aged 16-21 who demonstrate exceptional business acumen. Alongside renowned awards such as the Amazing Artist and Community Shining Star, these categories showcase the extraordinary potential of dyslexic individuals, encouraging them to pursue their passions and dreams.

A Growing Movement

Over the years, the Dyslexia Awards have transitioned from a regional to a national event, reflecting an increasing awareness and advocacy for the dyslexic community across the UK. Wilkinson, who has dedicated her efforts to supporting dyslexics, emphasizes that with the right encouragement and education, dyslexics can thrive in any profession. “Every story shared at our awards highlights how dyslexic thinking contributes to innovation and success,” she stated.

Nominations for this year’s awards are open until July 21, with the winners to be announced on October 17 at an exciting event in Telford. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals to nominate candidates who embody the spirit of resilience and creativity that the Dyslexia Awards represent.
