Project Awards - entries are now closed
Categories
Anyone can submit entries, with no requirement for entrants to be RTPI members. The project must be located in the UK or Ireland.
All types of planning activities are eligible, including plans, processes, projects or completed schemes. However one of the tests of plans such as master plans is their capability of implementation. It is appropriate that plans of this kind are entered when there is evidence of their success on the ground. The scale of the project is not necessarily relevant to the evaluation of the achievement.
Awards may be made to local authorities, consultants, community groups, developers, public agencies, partnerships or other teams judged to merit such recognition.
