The Revo’s return for 2026

For almost four decades, Revo has been dedicated to recognising and celebrating excellence across the retail, leisure and mixed use sector, with our awards programmes becoming a benchmark for innovation, collaboration and achievement within the built environment.

Bringing together the legacy of the Revo Gold, ACE and Purple Apple Awards, The Revo’s celebrate the very best across development, investment, asset management, operations, customer experience, placemaking and destination marketing.

For 2026, we’ve refreshed and evolved the awards programme, introducing a brand new awards portal alongside updated categories designed to better reflect the ever changing landscape of our industry. The new platform has been created to make the entry process more streamlined, accessible and user friendly for all entrants.

As our industry continues to evolve, so too do The Revo’s. The awards provide an opportunity to recognise the individuals, businesses, teams and projects helping to shape the future of destinations and experiences across the sector.

We welcome entries from both Revo members and the wider industry, celebrating achievements across spaces, places, initiatives and partnerships of every scale.

At its heart, The Revo’s is about championing excellence, recognising innovation and celebrating those making a lasting impact on the future of our industry.

Entries close on 7 September 2026 – don’t miss the opportunity to showcase your achievements.
