Design Awards

Design Awards

Following the success of the inaugural awards in 2019, the South Downs Design Awards are back.

Design Awards recognise and promote high standards of design and raise awareness of the positive contribution that good design can make to the quality of our local environments.

The Awards celebrate projects that have made a standout contribution to the landscape, heritage, built environment and our local communities.

Nominations for this year’s awards have now closed, with winners due to be announced later this year.

However, you can have your say in the People’s Choice. Cast your vote for your favourite from the list of shortlisted entries.

Check out the brochure of all the shortlisted entries.

The categories for the 2024 Design Awards include:

  • Residential – includes completed extensions, single buildings, small and large housing developments, and visitor accommodation.
  • Non-residential – includes completed commercial, industrial, farming, infrastructure, recreation, and leisure developments.
  • Conservation – includes completed historic parks and gardens, historic buildings, monuments, as well as excellent craftsmanship.
  • Landscape Includes completed and proposed landscape projects that conserve or enhance natural beauty, wildlife or cultural heritage.
