History

The Civic Trust Awards were originally established in 1959 by Michael Middleton CBE[2] of the Civic Trust to recognise outstanding architecture, urban design, landscape and public are which improve the quality of life for local communities.

After the Civic Trust went into Administration in April 2009, the Civic Trust Awards have continued as an independent scheme operating on a not-for-profit basis as a Community Interest Company.[3]

Awards are given for buildings and schemes which were architecturally outstanding and made positive differences to their local community. Each entry is judged by a voluntary panel including an Architect, Inclusive Design Advisor, a representative from the Local Planning Authority and a Local Community Representative.
