Something New Is Coming

A New Chapter Begins

Since 2019, the NISMA’s has celebrated the brands, businesses, creators, agencies and individuals shaping the social media landscape across Northern Ireland.

Together, we have recognised hundreds of exceptional campaigns, thousands of talented individuals and some of the most innovative digital work produced on this island.

Now it’s time for the next chapter.

After careful consideration, we have made the decision not to host the NI Social Media Awards in 2026 as we undertake a complete review and rebrand of the event.

This is not goodbye.

It is an opportunity to create something even more ambitious, more relevant and more impactful for the future of digital, content creation and social media excellence.

We are currently developing a new vision, a refreshed identity and an exciting new format that will return in early 2027.

The official launch date will be announced soon
