The Scottish Civic Trust My Place Awards is unique in Scotland
as it is a national celebration of good local design and
conservation as nominated and evaluated by local people. Its
aim is to identify and commend proposals that have had a positive
impact in a local neighbourhood and have delivered positive
benefits to that community. It is not intended to be a
'professional merit' award. However, developments entered
will be assessed on their architectural, heritage, and/or place
making benefits.
The Scottish Civic Trust My Place Award entries are nominated by
local groups and should be put forward as projects that best
present quality in the local context. They can come from a
wide range of types, such as:
- New buildings with high quality architectural expression
- Historic buildings that have been reused or refurbished
- Public realm schemes such as streetworks, parks, etc that have
a positive impact on a neighbourhood/community and can demonstrate
good place making benefits
Only projects in Scotland are eligible to be entered for
the Awards. Entry is free. Entries are sought from
local Civic Societies, Preservation Trusts and other bodies that
are presently affiliated to, or members of, the Scottish Civic
Trust. Groups that wish to become affiliated to the Scottish
Civic Trust for the purposes of the My Place Awards should contact
the Trust directly or visit its web site for further details,
