66 Portland Place to host Event Photography Awards 2025
Awards night returns to the venue for the third year running
RIBA at 66 Portland Place in Central London will host the Event Photography Awards for the third consecutive year on 28th May 2025. It will be one of the final events to take place in the Art Deco venue before its temporary closure as part of a two-year modernisation programme.
Now in its 11th year, the EPAs celebrate the exceptional creativity of events suppliers, the importance and impact of events, and above all, the amazing photographers that capture them. This year’s competition attracted entries from over 20 countries around the world across 18 categories that cover all areas of the event industry, from catering and cultural events to concerts and conferences.
Over 100 shortlisted images will be on display against the backdrop of the building’s Art Deco Florence Hall and RIBA Gallery, with guests able to vote for the People’s Choice award on the night. The fun and fast-paced awards ceremony will take place in the Jarvis Hall Auditorium with its plush seats, state-of-the-art AV and rich acoustic wood panelling.
The ceremony will be preceded and followed by drinks and food supplied by event caterer Blue Strawberry, who also catered the special 10th Anniversary ‘Best Ever’ EPAs in January. Event Production partner on the night is Visions Group with staff being provided by founders agency Off To Work the founding sponsor.
Thomas Morgan, Head of Venues and Events Delivery at 66 Portland Place, comments: “We’re really looking forward to hosting the Event Photography Awards for the third year running. It’s always a special occasion and this year it’s even more poignant as it marks one of our final events before our temporary two-year closure for a multi-million-pound modernisation programme. We’re pleased to once again showcase some incredible photographers and their work in the home of architecture and against our Art Deco backdrop.”
Graham Hill, Competition & Event Director, adds: “With its elegant and perfectly sized auditorium set alongside sumptuous reception spaces with huge windows that let in loads early summer light, 66 Portland Place has been the absolutely perfect venue for the Event Photography Awards – and as a not-for-profit exercise, are hugely grateful to Thomas and his team for hosting the event over the past three years. We hope the venue’s modernisation programme goes well and fingers crossed they’ll have us back after it’s complete!”
