Welsh Local Design Awards 2008

Organised by the Civic Trust for Wales in partnership with the Institute of Historic Building Conservation, Disability Wales and Cadw, the historic environment service of the Welsh Assembly Government

The Civic Trust for Wales is once again calling for entries for the Welsh Local Design Awards.

The Awards celebrate good design in a local context. We believe that the best people to recognise the contribution of design to a distinctive sense of place are those who live or work in the local community. Nominations may come from civic societies, local disability groups, amenity societies or similar organisations. Participation is also invited from members of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation working in historic building conservation within Wales.

General criteria
Schemes should represent good design, appropriate to context. They may be of any type and scale. Projects may be new buildings or structures, or involve conservation or restoration/re-use. They may display innovative or contemporary design solutions, respond to user needs, and contribute to a sustainable, enjoyable, safe and secure environment.
Projects should have been completed since January 2000. Civic societies and other groups can enter projects that they have recognised in their own award schemes.
