CPRE NORFOLK AWARDS
The CPRE Norfolk awards scheme was launched in 1980 to recognise
"significant small scale achievements in the field of conservation".
Since then, the scheme has grown and the range of entries has
expanded. The scheme is currently managed by a small committee
of CPRE volunteers (including a local architect) and the awards
are presented annually at a well attended awards ceremony at the
County Hall.
The scheme is now very broad based with entries coming from a
multitude of sources. Restoration projects, building conversions,
innovative new building design, landscape management projects
and school's environmental work, can all be considered. The judges
are looking for projects which demonstrate some or all of the
following criteria:
- respect for the 'integrity' of the original building
- restraint in intervention
- excellent use of materials and quality of detailing
- environmental changes which 'work' with the local ecology
- landscape as an opportunity for 'learning'
- ingenuity in bringing new vitality to old settings
Take a look at previous years' winners for examples of the types
of projects that are awarded.

CPRE Norfolk believes it is vital to reward individuals when
they enhance their surroundings or 'save' a building or area of
landscape otherwise at risk. This enhancement or restoration does
not simply happen by accident, it is often the result of a great
deal of effort and dedication by one individual or group, which
would otherwise go unnoticed. Our awards scheme gives us a chance
to celebrate and reward this hard work.
