The Solent Design Awards are launched

The Solent Centre for Architecture + Design is launching a Design Award scheme for buildings of the high design standards and which achieve a positive impact on surrounding areas.

The scheme is part of a programme to stimulate high class design in the built environment across South Hampshire.

As this is the inaugural year of what is hoped will become a biennial award scheme, any building or development completed after 1 April 2005 can be entered.

These can be nominated by architects, contractors, clients, local authorities or members of the public.

Full details can be found at solentdesignawards.org.uk and submissions must be received by 5.00pm on 20 August 2010.

The Awards are sponsored by the Quality Places Group of the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH).

The judging panel is just being finalised and will include top professionals from the built environment sector.

There will be a number of winners including an overall winner, an award for the most sustainable scheme, and a special award for the project which achieves the best impact - which will be chosen by a poll of the community.
