The Business Analyst of the Year Award 2026, sponsored by IIBA UK and AssistKD, is now open for entries.

The competition is the perfect opportunity for BAs to raise their profiles within their organisations and take stock of their achievements. This year’s winner will be the person who has demonstrated the most significant contribution in three key areas of business analysis practice: investigation, behavioural change, and ethics.

The deadline is 10th July, so there's plenty of time to apply. The Award winner will be selected from the finalists, who will all be given free entry to the Business Analysis Conference Europe on 21 and 22 September (worth over £1500 each). The Award will be presented on 21 September 2026.

Last year’s winner, Mark Cross said:  

“Absolutely go for it! Don’t just do it for yourself, do it for the community, for something you believe in.”
