CLEVELAND – The 2026 Tabbie Awards competition is open and accepting submissions from print and online publications worldwide. Celebrating its 23rd year, the global b2b journalism competition gives editors, art directors, and publishers the opportunity to have their best work judged by peers all over the globe. Publications need not be international in scope to qualify.

“As we approach a quarter-century of celebrating excellence in b2b journalism with the Tabbies, it is refreshing to see so many brands not just survive, but thrive,” TABPI President Paul J. Heney said. “Our competition continues the important work of highlighting the best global online and print work in editorial and design among business, trade, and association publications. There remains a critical need in the industry for honoring b2b journalism, and we’re thrilled to continue this work for this industry.”

This year’s competition features 14 categories in editorial and design. The Tabbies competition is open to English-language b2b print and online publications. Unlike some more restrictive programs, publications are not required to maintain membership in an organization to participate in the Tabbies — and entry fees remain among the lowest of comparable programs.

Entrants can save $40 by taking advantage of the early-bird fee for submissions ($155 per entry) that are received by the deadline of Wednesday, March 11th, 2025. The regular fee of $195 per entry applies after that date. Submissions can be made via this link: https://tabpi.submittable.com/submit.

Judges for the competition are culled from suggestions of regional editorial groups around the world. Winners will be announced on or about August 11th, 2026.
