The Awards Scheme

The CPRE Norfolk Awards scheme was founded in 1979 to recognise significant achievements in buildings and landscape.  It is one of the longest running Awards schemes in the county and over 300 projects have been awarded to date.

Who Can Apply

The scheme welcomes applications from all sections of the community and from projects of all types, big and small. Restoration projects, building conversions, innovative new building design, landscape management projects, historical research and school's environmental work are all considered.  The CPRE Norfolk Awards does not normally consider projects within the City Council boundary lines but all other parts of Norfolk are included.  We ask that projects have been completed within the past 3 years.

Judging Criteria

In general terms, the judges give Awards to projects which make a significant contribution to the protection and enhancement of the beauty, tranquillity and diversity of the English countryside.  More specific judging criteria are contained within the guidance notes below.  The CPRE Norfolk Awards scheme is not a competition and projects are not compared when they are being judged.  Rather, Awards are given on merit and more than twenty Awards may be given in a single year.

Application Process

 All applications must use an official application form and be received by the closing date in June.  Late applications will not be considered. Photographs and accompanying information about the projects are welcomed and will enhance applications.  All shortlisted projects will be visited by the judges.  If the project is successful, the entrant will be informed in writing and invited to the Awards ceremony in November.

PLEASE NOTE: The application deadline has now passed for 2010.  The official application form for 2011 will be made available by the end of January 2011. 

Prizes

All people that have played a significant role in the project will be given a framed certificate and the project itself will receive a bronze plaque for display at the site location.
