Civic Voice, national charity for the civic movement, will launch the Civic Voice Design Awards 2016 on Tuesday 8th December 2015 at last year’s winning scheme, Gloucester Services Northbound.
The Civic Voice Design Awards are the people’s choice for architecture and the built environment. It is the only design awards scheme in England which allows communities to celebrate the buildings, places and spaces they love for their high quality design and positive impact on the local community. Following on from the success of the 2015 awards, Civic Voice once again, invite nominations from civic societies and other community groups nationwide to the 2016 awards. The deadline for applications for this year’s awards is 14th February 2016 with the winners being announced at an event in Parliament. The launch event, which will celebrate last year’s winning design, will be attended by president of Civic Voice, Griff Rhys Jones; the CEO of the Westmorland Family, Sarah Dunning and Tim Mars of Stroud Civic Society will discuss why they nominated Gloucester Services for the award and others.
Griff Rhys Jones, president of Civic Voice, said of the awards ‘The Civic Voice Design Awards are a wonderful opportunity for local communities up and down the country to nominate local buildings and designers for recognition. I am thrilled to be able to play host to this second annual event and hope it continues for many years.’
Civic Voice Executive Director, Ian Harvey said ‘Civic Voice Design Awards recognise places that are loved by local people and that make a positive contribution to their area. After seeing such a great response from local communities for last year’s awards, we want even more communities to come forward and tell us about developments in their community that they are proud of. We are delighted that our President, Griff Rhys Jones can join us for the day and look forward to the unveiling of the Gloucester Services Northbound Plaque – as nominated last year by Stroud Civic Society.’
