One of the category winners will then be crowned the overall Greater Birmingham Young Professional of the Year 2026.
The awards are open to both members and non-members who work within the Greater Birmingham region - including the Birmingham, Burton, Cannock Chase, Lichfield, Tamworth, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield postcode areas.
Sophie Poduval-Morrell, manager of Future Faces, said: “After 25 years of a traditional black-tie dinner, 2026 will be an awards with a twist!
“We are so excited to be celebrating young professionals the way that they wanted to be celebrated at this year’s Greater BYPY Awards.
“We won’t give too much away, but trust me, it’s a year you will not want to miss out on!”
