The London Adventure Play Awards recognise and celebrate great adventurous play – wherever it happens.
Award entries are in the form of short (2 mins max!) films made by children. As always, recognising and celebrating the special role of adventure playgrounds in children’s lives is the driving force behind this annual event. But we also welcome entries from other open access London play settings and of course, Play Streets!
We also have a brand new category for 2024 to recognise the unsung, unpaid heroes of play across the capital:
- London Adventure Playground of the Year
- Weird and Wonderful Award
- Dream Team Award
- Best Flick
- Play Street of the Year
- **NEW** People for Play Award **NEW**
