Lifting Africa has officially extended the entry deadline for the 2026 Southern African Lifting Awards from 31 July to Friday, 14 August 2026. The extension gives companies, professionals and organisations operating throughout Africa’s lifting industry an additional two weeks to complete and submit their entries. “This is the final opportunity for companies and individuals to showcase the work, innovation and people helping to advance Africa’s lifting industry. We encourage everyone who has started an entry to complete it and those who have not yet entered to act now.” Nominations will be verified by the Lifting Awards Committee, and shortlisted nominees will be interviewed by an appointed panel.
