THIS year’s Pride of Jersey finalists can now be revealed following a 12-day public vote.
Voting for the Pride of Jersey Awards 2026, which is organised by the Jersey Evening Post, came to a close on Tuesday 6 October, with more than 30,000 votes cast across 14 categories.
Winners will now be selected from the three finalists who received the most public
votes in each category. Judging will be undertaken by a previous category winner, a member of JEP staff and a representative from each category sponsor.
Carl Walker, group editor of All Island Media, said: “Although there could only be three finalists for each category, all of those nominated deserve recognition for their contributions to life in Jersey.
“The Pride of Jersey Awards are the highlight of the JEP’s calendar every year and we look forward to seeing our finalists at the ceremony in November”.
The awards ceremony is due to take place on 18 November at the Royal Jersey Showground in Trinity.
The winner from each category will receive a £1,000 prize from the sponsor of their award.
