Once again it is time to celebrate the importance of place and
place-making throughout the country. 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, it is not an industry
award. For year two, two Scottish Civic Trust My Place Awards
will be presented in March 2011.
In addition to promoting and finding Scotland's most remarkable
and well designed places and spaces, this year the Scottish Civic
Trust is searching for Scotland's Civic Champion too.
To be eligible for either award, only projects based in and
individuals living in Scotland can enter. And entries must be
nominated by civic societies and preservation trusts affiliated to
the Scottish Civic Trust.
Nominations for the Scottish Civic Trust My Place Award 2011
must be submitted online at www.myplaceawards.org.uk. Entries for Scottish
Civic Trust Civic Champion 2011 can be made manually using the
downloadable entry form on the website. Nominations for both
categories will be published on the Scottish Civic Trust My Place
Awards website and a judging panel of industry experts will assess
all the entries and decide on winners for 2011.
Launching the awards, John Pelan, Director, Scottish Civic Trust
said,
"There is no better time to celebrate Scotland's network of
civic societies whose individual commitment and passion for built
heritage is demonstrated in small and large projects and in towns
and cities throughout the country. Through the Scottish Civic
Trust My Place Awards we are able to put a spotlight on the
individuals who and organisations that really make a difference to
our communities."
