Awards & Festival - Edinburgh

The SEMTSF 2026 Awards in Edinburgh celebrate individuals and organisations driving progress for ethnic minority communities across Scotland, with music, dance and performance.

The Scottish Ethnic Minority Talent Summit & Festival 2026 closes its week-long programme with an awards evening at Tynecastle Park's Gorgie Suite. The SEMTSF Awards recognise individuals and organisations delivering measurable progress for ethnic minority communities across Scotland, judged on evidence rather than intent. The evening begins with a drinks reception from 16:15 as the summit ends, followed by the awards ceremony featuring live music, dance, costume and performance, with celebration and networking running through to 22:00. Nominees, finalists and supporting organisations from the week's events across Aberdeen, Glasgow, Fife and Edinburgh come together for the occasion.
