Time to sort your Guild Awards 2025 entries
Entries are now open for the 2025 Guild of Motoring Writers Awards (writes honorary secretary Richard Netherwood), with the winners set to be presented with their awards during a black tie dinner held at the Royal Automobile Club in London in December.
The period for submitting entries will last until midnight on Tuesday 30th September and, following judging, finalists will be announced in November. Work published between 1st October 2024 and 30th September 2025 will be eligible for consideration.
The awards presentation will be held at its traditional home of the Royal Automobile Club on 4th December, during the Guild’s Annual Dinner, which always features leading figures in automotive journalism and the industry amongst its attendees.
With the exception of the RAC EV Journalist of the Year and the Sir William Lyons Award, Guild judges will select from up to three submissions per entry, with the best single piece of work from three entrants selected to make up the finalists of each category. Sir William Lyons Award and RAC EV Journalist of the Year entrants are limited to just one submission.
An individual piece of material (such as a story or feature) can only be submitted into one category while books only are eligible to be entered into the Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy. The closing date for all entries is Tuesday 30th September 2025.
For full details on all the award categories, prize money and entry forms go to the Awards pages on the Guild website. Candidates are advised to read the online instructions carefully before entering. If you have any questions about the entry procedure contact Honorary Secretary, Richard Netherwood.
