Celebrating 10 years of global excellence in education

For a decade, The PIEoneer Awards have stood at the forefront of international education, celebrating the people and organisations transforming our sector. Described as the ‘Oscars of international education’, this is where the very best come together to be recognised on a truly global stage. In 2026, we mark our milestone tenth anniversary with our biggest celebration yet.

This is more than an awards ceremony, it’s a global stage where innovation meets ambition. Where new voices are discovered, outstanding achievements are recognised, and the future of global education comes to life.

Entries for The PIEoneer Awards 2026 open on 12 January 2026

We want to hear your success stories and showcase your achievements. Our distinguished judging panel, drawn from across the international education community, will be looking for bold ideas, outstanding impact and fresh thinking that pushes boundaries and raises standards. There’s an award for everyone, no matter the size or shape of your organisation. The PIEoneer Awards celebrate the best and brightest in international education and recognise outstanding innovation at every scale.

Join us as we gather leaders, change makers and visionaries from every corner of the world for an unforgettable night of celebration, inspiration and connection.

Ten years, countless achievements and a global community. Celebrate the progress made and the future we are building together.
