2027 Reed Awards

A note from The Shanes

Every year, we get to do something we love: bring the political campaign industry together in one place to celebrate the very best work it produced.

That's what the Reed Awards are. Named for Campaigns & Elections founder Stanley Foster Reed, the Reeds honor excellence in campaign management, political consulting, design, grassroots, and advocacy. A Reed Award is the most exacting recognition in political campaigning.

The 2027 Reed Awards will honor winners across 29 distinct category groups, including dedicated groups for International (non-US) work and Social Impact. If your team did something great this cycle, this is the place to prove it.

But the Reeds have always been about more than trophies. Each year, the people who run, win, and fight campaigns from every corner of the industry spend a few days in the same room. As longtime attendee Josh Nanberg put it, "the Reeds is like a family reunion in the best possible way." Watching that happen is our favorite part of the year. It's why we're confident in calling the Reeds the campaign industry event of the year.

This year we're going bigger than ever: three full days, March 17–19, 2027, in Atlanta. Winners will be announced there, and we can't wait to see you on stage.

Get your entries in by January 27th. We'll see you in Atlanta.
