Really Good Emails Awards 2026

We want to see the email you couldn’t stop looking at after you hit send. The campaign your whole team rallied around. The tiny detail nobody else would notice, but you spent three hours getting right. The idea that sounded a little weird until you actually made it. The email that performed beautifully. And the email that simply made you think: Damn. We made something good.

‍

This is your chance to put it in front of the Really Good Emails community.

12 categories. A whole lot of good email.

‍

The 2026 awards celebrate the breadth of what people make in the inbox—from welcome emails and newsletters to launches, lifecycle campaigns, transactional messages, exceptional copy, beautiful design, and ambitious experiments.

‍

There are 12 categories, giving all kinds of great email work a place to shine.

‍

What are we looking for?

‍

There isn't one formula for a Really Good Email. We're looking for ideas and execution that make us excited about what email can be. That could mean exceptional design. Brilliant writing. Thoughtful strategy. Technical craft. Accessibility. Personality. A genuinely useful experience. Or an idea that makes the rest of us wish we'd thought of it first.

‍

Why submit?

‍

Because a lot of work goes into one little rectangle in someone's inbox. And the people doing that work deserve to be recognized. Selected emails will be celebrated by Really Good Emails and shared with a community of people who care deeply about the craft.

‍

It's a chance to get your work seen, celebrate your collaborators, discover what everyone else has been making, and give some of the year's best email work its flowers.

‍

Made something you're proud of?

‍

We want to see it. Dig through your sent folder. Ask your team. Nominate the email you bookmarked six months ago and still think about.
