Please ensure you have carefully read the description and the further information provided for the category you wish to enter and the Privacy Notice. These can all be found at: https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/planning/built-heritage/aberdeenshire-design-awards/

We are seeking submissions in the following categories:

Business and Community Enterprise - This category focuses on commercial or community development. The submission can either be a new build or redevelopment project which demonstrates outstanding merit in its design and functionality, but also demonstrates clear merit in its conception, ethos and development.  


Conservation and Building Adaptation - This category focuses on the reuse of existing building stock. The scheme must either demonstrate exceptional standards in the field of conservation or deliver an appropriate new use for a previously underutilised structure through renovation, restoration or re-development. 


Innovative Single House Design (including extensions) - This category focuses on individual properties and extensions. The scheme must demonstrate the very best in construction, layout, siting and design. It should also demonstrate exceptional consideration in terms of environmental, functional and physical attributes.  


Landscape and Biodiversity Design - Entries must demonstrate excellence in the formation of community open space, parks, gardens or other natural environment or green infrastructure projects. The submission must also outline how the scheme has contributed to the enhancement of biodiversity and blue-green networks. This can be either in isolation or as part of a wider development.  


Building Communities for the Future - This category focuses on residential developments of five or more houses. The scheme will not only deliver well designed and attractive housing, but also demonstrate how a considered layout, incorporating landscaping and green open spaces, can create communities as well as deliver on housing need, working towards the creation of 20 minute neighbourhoods.


Student Category - This category focuses on a sustainable approach to living, providing strong imagery and provoking practical thinking. The issues of post pandemic living, well-being and health should be addressed through the regeneration of inner cities, towns or rural areas, with the adaptive reuse of existing buildings being mirrored by new designs and the sustainable lifestyles they can create. The approach taken should be applicable for use in Aberdeenshire.
