The MM+M Awards 2026 are open for submissions. This is your chance to put your best work forward and get the recognition you deserve! 

Now in its 23rd year, the medical marketing industry’s premier awards program returns with new categories and expansions of existing ones.

The first entry deadline has been set at April 10, with each entry costing $595. Entries submitted before the final deadline of April 27 will cost $895. Click here to access the entry kit.

This year’s winners will be revealed at the annual gala event scheduled for October 1 in New York City. MM+M will unveil the Awards shortlist in July.

New categories for 2026: Best Use of Humor; Excellence in Craft; Display, Print & Environmental Media; Use of Generative AI (GenAI) and Synthetic Media; Use of Immersive Technology and Spatial Computing; Captain Jack Sullivan Leader of the Year. 

For a category to be judged, it must have at least three entries. If there are two or fewer entries, there will be no award presented in that category. MM+M will refund all entry fees if a category is not judged.

As in years past, the MM+M Awards are open to agencies and their clients, production companies, studios, research firms and any other organization that produces or publishes medical marketing materials or content. Eligibility is limited to work created for North America, though international work will be considered if it includes a North American component and that component is submitted as part of the entry.
