Sheffield Design Awards

Sheffield Civic Trust is launching the new Sheffield Design Awards in association with RIBA Yorkshire, the regional office of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Entries are being called for the EM Awards 2008. For more information and an entry form, click here.

Closing date is 22 August 2008.

The Awards will cover projects within the City boundary and consist of three key award categories:

• The Best Building Award - the most successful contemporary design for a new building in the City, or excellence in the restoration, alteration, extension or improvement of an historic or existing building.
• The Neighbourhood & Community Design Award - quality design in a small or community project within a 'neighbourhood' setting within the City. This award celebrates buildings and schemes that provide services and facilities, that benefit and are appreciated by, a specific community within the City.
• The Citizen's Award - The best building or scheme in the City, voted for by the general public of Sheffield.
