Digital Preservation Awards 2026 Ceremony

Join us on the evening of Thursday 15 October as we celebrate the people and projects making outstanding contributions to digital preservation and reveal the winners of the Digital Preservation Awards 2026.

Organized by the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) every two years, the Digital Preservation Awards are the leading international celebration of achievement in digital preservation. The Awards recognize individuals, teams and organizations whose work helps secure our digital legacy.

The ceremony takes place during the No Time to Wait 10 conference, hosted by the National Film Archive – Audiovisual Institute (FINA) in Warsaw. Our finalists and guests will come together for a celebratory evening, and the ceremony will be livestreamed for everyone joining from elsewhere in the world.

We’ll celebrate the finalists and announce the winners across seven award categories. We’ll also present the DPC Fellow Award, recognizing an individual who has made a significant contribution to the digital preservation community. Meet all of our finalists and explore their projects ahead of the ceremony.
