INSPIRE FUTURE GENERATIONS AWARDS (IFGA)

WHY WE ARE RUNNING THE IFGA?

This annual competition welcomes entries from individuals, organisations, local authorities, developers, and other built environment professionals who are committed to advancing participation and design with children and young people.

The IFGA recognises projects that demonstrate excellence, creativity, care, and a genuine commitment to engaging young people in shaping the spaces around them. Over the past four years, the Awards have played a key role in growing TET’s community of practice: connecting people, sharing knowledge, and fostering collaboration around inclusive and youth and children-centred design.

Our principal aim of running this awards programme is to open up space for young people to be heard, participate in and empowered in decisions about the environments they live, learn, and play in. By highlighting the value of participation, the IFGA helps ensure that the design of our cities and communities reflects the needs, ideas, and aspirations of younger generations. 

Each year winners are invited to present their work through a series of online presentations and are considered as potential panelists for our quarterly TET Dialogue events.  Winning award entries are also added to the TET Resource Bank and featured in our annual Empowering Environment Report.
