Awards

The CBG Awards are made each year for the best recently-completed or renovated buildings. These include private, commercial and public developments, renovations and small building or landscape improvements. The 'Oscars' of building awards in Cornwall, the CBG Awards are respected and desirable recognitions of achievement, with entries from private individuals and architectural practices. The awards conclude with a well-publicised ceremony. 


The scheme aims to promote projects which make a significant contribution to improving the built environment in Cornwall, while achieving a satisfactory solution to the aims and objectives of the client and their architect or designer.


The Group has made Awards each year since 1981 for recently-completed new buildings, or the restoration or conversion of old buildings of merit. During this period over 150 buildings have been recognised with an Award or a commendation; occasionally examples of outstanding workmanship which have contributed significantly to the success of a building project are also commended.


Any project is eligible, whether a structure as small as a bus shelter, or a housing estate or a large public building. It will be judged on its contribution to the built environment in Cornwall. Does the project successfully achieve the aims and objectives of the client and their architect or designer? Is it appropriate for its purpose, which might suggest an exciting or a restrained solution in the right scale for the location?
