Civic Trust Awards - deadline nears

Entry details for the 49th Civic Trust Awards are now available via the organisation's website.

Entry criteria has been simplified this year, with The Civic Trust merging its urban and rural rounds into one annual competition.

Schemes must have been completed between 1st September 2005 and 1st September 2007, and the closing date for entries is 11th September 2007.

Entries are to be submitted online this year, although images will still be required on CD.

For details on how to apply, and to get login details, potential entrants are invited to contact the Civic Trust Awards on 0151 231 6907, or email lscanlon@civictrust.org.uk.

Guidance Notes are also available on line.

The Awards Panel would particularly like to encourage applications from wind farms or other energy sources and from the road, rail and air infrastructure sectors.

There is also a new award, with CABE Space sponsoring a new Streets Award to highlight the need for well designed streets.

CABE wants to set high aspirations for the design of streets as an integral part of the public space network.

CABE believes that much of the innovation within current street design is part of a wider cultural debate around the nature of our towns and cities.

Sponsoring the Civic Trust Award enables CABE to support this debate by celebrating and learning from the very best in current street design from around the country.

Aggregate Industries have confirmed their support of the 2008 Awards, again sponsoring the Sustainability Award.

Winners will be announced at a ceremony in Newcastle in March 2008.
