Location Manager Awards UK

The Inaugural Location Department UK Awards have been established in 2025 to celebrate the outstanding achievements and contributions of location professionals working across film, television, and commercial production in the United Kingdom. Recognising excellence in location management, scouting, logistics, and creative problem-solving, these awards shine a spotlight on the often-unsung heroes who help bring stories to life on screen. Founded with the goal of elevating the profile of the UK’s location community, the awards honour the dedication, professionalism, and creative ingenuity that location departments bring to every production. From managing complex shoots in city centres to securing breathtaking landscapes in remote corners of the country, UK location teams play a crucial role in the success of national and international productions. The awards are judged by a panel of industry peers, ensuring that nominees and winners are evaluated by those who truly understand the challenges and triumphs of the craft. Categories span a wide range of disciplines, including Best Location Manager, Best Location Team, Rising Star, and Outstanding Contribution to UK Location Work. Backed by leading industry organisations and supported by partners from across the UK screen sector, the Location Department UK Awards serve as a platform to celebrate excellence, foster community, and inspire the next generation of location professionals.
