The CPRE Norfolk Awards is managed by a small committee (including a local architect) and the awards are presented annually at an Awards ceremony at the County Hall.
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
The judges work on the same principles as the Chelsea Flower Show. The quality of all entries is important and there is no single "prize winner". Rather, there is a number of Full Awards every year with additional Highly Commended, or Commended projects.
To guarantee consideration, an application must be received by the end of August. Later applications may also be considered. An applicant must complete an application form and the project must 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.
For more information about entering a project, please contact the Chairman of Judges, Mr. Martin Walton, on 01692 678360.
