Our 2025 corridor of fame entrants have been revealed throughout a offered out occasion which occurred at The HAC in Central London on sixteenth October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award successful comic, actress and author Tiff Stevenson.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, mentioned: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”

“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”

He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”

Congratulations to our winners, and an enormous thanks to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that’s Tiff Stevenson, and all those that attended our 2025 gathering.
