Entries Open for The Moodies 2026 Travel Retail Digital Media Awards
The 14th edition of The Moodies, the Airport and Travel Retail Social & Digital Media Awards, is now accepting entries from across the industry.
The awards recognise the best social media campaigns and digital initiatives from airports, brands, food and beverage operators, lounge operators and retailers. Organisers say the 2026 edition will highlight how digital storytelling builds creativity, connection and customer experiences in travel retail.
Self-nominations are open at £169 plus VAT per entry. Submissions must cover work carried out between 1 August 2025 and 31 July 2026, and each entry should be no longer than 1,000 words, accompanied by supporting visuals or data.
The competition returns for its 14th year, having launched when social and digital media use in travel retail was still developing. The founder and chairman of the awards described the platform as unique in celebrating the sector's digital pioneers.
Winners of The Moodies 2026 will be announced at the end of the year. Full category details and the nomination form are available on the dedicated awards website.
