Recognising the people who make our communities stronger.
Today marks the official opening of nominations for the International Naturist Awards Council (INAC) Awards 2026.
These awards were created with one simple purpose: to recognise the individuals, clubs, organisations, events and initiatives whose dedication, kindness and commitment help naturist communities flourish around the world.
Behind every welcoming event, every supportive conversation, every volunteer, every organiser and every act of encouragement is someone quietly making a difference. The INAC Awards exist to say something that is often not said enough:
Thank you.
Celebrating the Best of Our Community
Naturism is more than social nudity. At its heart, it is about people.
It is about acceptance without judgement, respect for one another, kindness towards others, and building communities where everyone feels they belong.
Across the world there are countless volunteers, clubs, campaigners, educators, event organisers, photographers, writers, community champions and everyday members who give their time so that others can experience the many benefits of naturism.
The INAC Awards seek to recognise those contributions and celebrate the people whose work often goes unseen.
Whether someone has dedicated decades to the movement or has inspired others through a single outstanding achievement, every contribution matters.
Nominations Are Now Open
Nominations are now open and will remain open until:
Midnight – Tuesday 1 September 2026
Following the close of nominations, all qualifying nominees will progress to the public vote throughout September 2026, before the winners are announced in November 2026.
How to Nominate
Making a nomination is simple.
Please include:
The full name of the individual, club, organisation or event you wish to nominate.
Contact details wherever possible.
The award category you believe they should be considered for.
A short explanation of why you believe they deserve recognition.
The strongest nominations often come from personal experiences. Tell us how this person, club or organisation has made a positive difference to you or to the wider naturist community.
Qualifying for the Public Vote
To ensure every nominee has genuine community support, each candidate must receive:
A minimum of ten individual nominations
before progressing to the public vote during September 2026.
This helps ensure that every finalist has earned recognition from the wider naturist community.
Help Shape the Future of the Awards
The INAC Awards are designed to grow alongside the naturist community.
If you believe there is an award category that should exist—one that reflects the values of Kindness, Acceptance, Respect and Community—we would love to hear from you.
Perhaps there is an area of community life that deserves greater recognition.
Perhaps there is a volunteer role, initiative or achievement that has never before been celebrated.
If so, please tell us.
Together we can continue developing awards that truly reflect the people who make naturism such a welcoming and inspiring community.

Please remember:

Each nominee must receive at least ten individual nominations to qualify for the public vote.
Public voting will take place throughout September 2026.
The winners will be announced in November 2026.
Celebrating Humanity
Recognition is about far more than receiving an award.
It tells volunteers that their time mattered.
It tells organisers that their dedication was appreciated.
It inspires others to step forward and make a difference.
Communities do not thrive because of buildings or organisations. They thrive because of people who choose kindness, give their time and help others feel welcome.
The International Naturist Awards Council believes that recognising these individuals strengthens the future of naturism for everyone.
Every nomination is an opportunity to shine a light on someone whose efforts have helped others discover friendship, belonging and community.
Who has inspired your naturist journey, and why do they deserve to be recognised by the international naturist community?
