My Place Awards

Have you been involved in a built environment project that has made a difference to your community, or would you like to support the achievements of others that are working to improve your locality? The My Place Awards are for you!

The My Place Awards are the Scottish Civic Trust’s annual celebration of the difference communities can make to their local places. Their aim is to bring proper recognition to community-led regeneration that has transformed a neighbourhood.

The My Place Awards have two categories:

1. Community-led Projects: recognises recent community-led built environment projects that have transformed their locality. This includes new buildings; historic buildings or monuments that have been reused or refurbished; designed public realm schemes, such as street works and parks; and designed landscapes such as gardens or public green spaces.
2. Community Champions: celebrates individuals across Scotland who have made a significant contribution to their communities through achieving positive change in the local area, whether through placemaking, built environment projects, improving public spaces or increasing access to spaces and places by communities.

Winners of the My Place Awards benefit from the opportunity to develop a national profile and evidence impact to potential and existing funders, as well as be celebrated at a ceremony attended by national policy makers and major stakeholders in Scotland’s built environment sector.
