About the Civic Trust Awards

The Civic Trust Awards scheme was established in 1959 to recognise outstanding architecture, planning and design in the built environment.

As one of the oldest built environment awards schemes in Europe, during the last 50 years, more than 5500 projects have been rewarded and the scheme has continued in its objective to recognise projects that have made a positive contribution to the local communities they serve.

Formerly administered under the umbrella of a National Charity, the Civic Trust Awards scheme continues to thrive and has received the wholesale support of the built environment community in additon to the continued commitment of its volunteer assessors.

The Civic Trust Awards operates on a not-for-profit basis and remains committed to delivering an awards scheme that promotes positive community and environmental impact. We also provide an opportunity for the general public to participate in nominating and judging schemes from their local area.

Civic Trust Awards is a trading name of “Civic Trust Awards CIC” - a Community Interest Company registered in England and Wales (No. 6885454).
