Staff from Donaldsons's Vets, a winner in our 2019 design awards.
Civic Society members and the public are invited to nominate their favourite buildings in our 2020 Design Awards.

Established in 2012, the awards have been presented to the best developments within Huddersfield completed over the past couple of years.
                                    
You can nominate projects in the following categories:

  • Best new build
  • Best shop front
  • Best refurbishment
  • Best residential development
  • Best commercial development
  • Best community project.

There is no restriction on the number of nominations. 

The Society will again team up with the Examiner so its readers have a chance to vote for the development which they feel has contributed most towards helping improve the quality and image of the town. Please do not nominate buildings that were winners in our 2019 awards.

Nominated buildings should fall within the former Huddersfield borough boundary, that is between Outlane and Fixby in the north, Berry Brow and Almondbury in the south, Milnsbridge in the west and Cooper Bridge and Waterloo in the east. Projects must have been completed between July 1,  2018 and December 31, 2020. 

Members have until December 31, 2020, to submit their choices. Judges will choose the winners from each category and decide who receives the Examiner Readers’ award. These winners will be presented with specially designed slate trophies, with an additional trophy awarded to the outright winner next spring. (The event will be dependent on the Covid-19 situation).

Consideration will be given to the following in determining the winning categories:
​
  • Quality of design and materials
  • Appropriateness to street setting andadjacent property
  • Functionality
  • Accessibility
  • Contribution to environmental sustainability 
  • Quality of landscaping
  • Contribution to community enhancement

Not only will the awards raise the profile of Huddersfield Civic Society but of the town itself, something that we, as Society members, the Examiner and its readers are keen to do. We also hope that category winners will be submitted for consideration in the national design awards organised by Civic Voice.

Let us know which buildings you think have been sympathetically converted, new shop fronts, new developments, community projects or structures that have contributed to Huddersfield’s built environment.

We look forward to receiving your nominations.

Completed nomination forms can be posted to John Lockwood, The Barn House, Ashes Lane, Almondbury, Huddersfield HD4 6TE  or complete your form online on our design awards page.
