Last chance to enter the 2010 Building for Life Awards

The closing date for this year’s Building for Life awards is 28 May 2010.

Each year the Building for Life awards celebrate the best new homes and neighbourhoods in England. Winning an award is the first step to gaining national recognition for your new housing scheme.

Any scheme – or phase of a scheme – can be entered if:

• it was completed after 1 April 2009
  or
• it is least 50 per cent complete by 28 May 2010.

Building for Life – led by CABE and the Home Builders Federation - is the national standard for well-designed homes and neighbourhoods. It does not demand bespoke or contemporary designs. It is about high-quality homes in well laid-out neighbourhoods and streets with a strong sense of identity – creating the attractive, convenient and sustainable places that we all want to live in.

Anyone can enter an eligible housing scheme for the Building for Life awards, including architects, developers, housing associations and planners.

Entering is straightforward. Go to www.buildingforlife.org/awards/how-to-enter for further information and an application form.
