The York Design Awards are back – and they want your nominations.

After a two-year hiatus due to Covid, the annual awards are returning to celebrate the very best in architecture and building design in York.

Usually entries are limited to projects completed in the last three years – but this year they will welcome entries from projects finished in the past five years.

The launch event takes place on Thursday 24 February at St Peter’s School, after which you can submit nominations via the awards website.

Entries are invited across a wide range of categories including residential development, commercial and public buildings, conservation and restoration projects and open spaces.

Previous winners include the Great East Window at York Minster, The Chocolate Works Care Village, Little Knavesmire Sports Pavilion, The Hiscox Building, York Theatre Royal plus numerous privately-owned newbuild and restored residential properties.

Former Lord Mayor Ann Reid is chair of the York Design Awards committee. She said: “The awards are unique in that an independent panel of judges from throughout the UK, spend two days in York visiting every entry. 

“This was not possible during the height of the pandemic, but we are confident that this year the judging can take place safely.

“Construction and refurbishment work has remained strong throughout the pandemic, as many people invested in their homes, and many commercial projects have also progressed during this time, so we expect a bumper number of entries for the awards.”

Winners will be announced at an awards evening on 4 July.
