Welcome to the submissions and judging portal for the ALC Awards 2026!
The Awards are a new initiative to give much needed recognition to the work of technicians, inspectors, engineers and analysts in water network leakage reduction.
Have you delivered an exceptional leakage reduction project that deserves recognition? We want to hear your story.
There are three award categories:
> Leak Detection Award - Sponsored by Hydrosave
> Leakage Analysis Award - Sponsored by Trow Consulting
> Consumption Investigation Award - Sponsored by Suez.
The Awards are given for a single, exceptional case by an individual or small group – not long-term performance. The judging panel will review and assess each submission against key criteria, and identify a shortlist for each category, from which the winner will be selected. You can access that detailed information at www.leakageconference.co.uk/alc-awards - please ensure you have reviewed that before making your entry.
Entry submissions must relate to UK-based projects completed between 1 January 2023 and 18 September 2026. The closing date for submissions is 30 September 2026.
The winners will be announced at the 27th Annual Leakage Conference Dinner in Birmingham on Monday 9 November 2026.
Award category winners will receive:
> £250 voucher
> Complimentary place at the 27th Annual Leakage Conference and Dinner, including B&B at the co-located hotel and a standard train ticket
> Invitation to present their project at the Annual Leakage Conference or Annual Leakage Conference Dinner
