Hall of Fame - All journalist winners

Shortlisting, judging & winners

Entries submitted by journalists across all categories will initially be shortlisted by a panel of judges and announced in April 2024. 

After shortlisting, the final and all-important judging phase to decide all the category winners will take place. Judging panels include over a hundred judges comprising senior financial journalists, editors and PRs drawn from around the UK’s financial media.

Widely acknowledged as the biggest night of the year for the UK’s money media, the industry will come together on Wednesday 17 July 2024, where the winners will be revealed at The Brewery in London, at the Headlinemoney Awards 2024.

Good luck and we look forward to receiving your entries!
