Prince Harry has announced a brand new awards event under the Invictus Games banner, marking a significant expansion of the movement he founded more than a decade ago. The Invictus Spirit Gala Dinner and Awards will take place in London this September, celebrating individuals who reflect the resilience, courage and determination at the heart of the Invictus community.
The new awards aim to recognise not only wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans, but also civilians who have played a meaningful role in supporting recovery through sport and adventure. According to the Invictus Games Foundation, nominations are open to anyone who has helped strengthen the community or contributed to the wellbeing of its members.
The judging panel will include representatives from the Invictus Games Foundation, presenting partner ATCO, and Prince Harry himself. Nominations opened on January 23, 2026, and will close on March 8, 2026. Winners will be announced at the London gala later in the year.
