Design Award Scheme

Havant Borough Council's Design Award Scheme was introduced in 1987 and is intended to make a positive contribution in increasing local public awareness of design and conservation issues.  Every two to three years we ask for nominations that are considered to be an example of good design.  The Borough of Havant has a beautiful natural setting and good design in the urban environment can complement this.

 

Design Award 2012

 

Nominations can be made by owners, architects, agents, contractors or members of the public for any design that has been completed within the last three years by 13 July 2012.

 

Nomination forms will be available here shortly, meanwhile please telephone 023 9244 6539 or email us on policy.design@havant.gov.uk.

 

Whilst we have had a positive response from the public in previous years, we see one of the aims of the Design Awards is to make design more accessible to young people and help them understand the principles of good design.  With this in mind we are launching a junior schools competition starting 16th April and ending on 29th June seeking the children's opinions on the theme 'My Favourite Place in Havant Borough'. Further details can be found here:

How the Design Award Scheme operates

The award is made for the best example completed during the preceding three calendar years and consists of a commemorative plaque for display on the building or site and certificates that are presented to the owner, designer and builder. The architect receives a trophy. Certificates are also awarded to the runners up.

 

Entries may be submitted by owners, agents, local residents' associations, amenity groups or individuals. Projects can include new buildings, extensions to existing buildings, conservation or restoration works, landscaping (urban or rural), shop fronts and even statues. 

   
You can nominate any building or structure. You don't need to be the owner or architect. The only criteria are that it must be in Havant Borough and it must have been completed within the last three years.

 

The Awards aim to acknowledge and reward good design and build quality. Anything can be nominated, from urban to rural, commercial, residential or leisure use. If, like us, you feel that Havant Borough deserves nothing less than the best for the built environment and if you know of a building that has that extra special something and deserves recognition, let us know.
