Welcome to York Design Awards 2009

“We all agree York is a beautiful City and we must continuously improve its design and architecture.   The design of new buildings and the restoration of old will play an important part in the overall look of the City in the 21st Century.”  HRH Duke of York (2007)

The search for York’s best designed new buildings and developments is on again.

Following the success of the first York Design Awards in 2007, launched by the then Lord Mayor, Cllr Janet Hopton, the York Design Awards now enter their third year. The aim of the Awards is to encourage and promote excellence in design and conservation, striving for the highest standards.

These prestigious Awards are open to all developments within the City of York Council boundary, normally completed between 1st January 2006 and 31st December 2008 (schemes previously submitted cannot be re-entered).
