Nominations Now Open

Do you know a building, place or project completed in the last 10 years that deserves recognition?

Nominations for the North Warwickshire Pride of Place Civic Awards 2026 are now open. These awards celebrate the buildings, places and projects that make North Warwickshire a great place to live, work and visit.

From new developments, restored historic buildings and heritage sites to environmental improvements and community-led initiatives, the awards recognise the projects helping to shape the borough's future while preserving its unique character. As the awards have not been held for 10 years, we are inviting nominations for projects completed during that time, providing a significant opportunity to showcase and celebrate successful projects from across the borough.

Award Categories

New Development Award (Large Scale)

Nominations should be for development of 10 dwellings/units (or over), or development of at least 1000 square metres in floor area  

New Development Award (Small Scale)

Nomimations should be for any development under 10 dwellings/units, or less than 1000 square metres in floor area, including extensions to buildings or conversion of buildings to a new use

Heritage Conservation Award

Nominations for projects in Conservation Areas, for works to listed buildings or unlisted but locally important buildings are requested. This award focuses on any project that shows how changes to traditionally constructed buildings or historic spaces have been designed and implemented to respect of our historic environment and make the most of the heritage of the borough

Regeneration and Reuse Award

Nominations for projects that have brought underused or unloved buildings and spaces back to life and now enhance the borough’s built and natural environment

Community Project Award

Nominations are invited for projects organised or delivered by community groups, charities and non-profit organisations that have made a positive physical contribution to a building, place or space within North Warwickshire.

Examples could include the restoration or improvement of a community building, village hall or heritage asset; improvements to a community garden or shared outdoor space; community-led environmental or conservation works; or projects that have brought an underused building or place back into beneficial community use.
