Materials, resources and research
Articles, research projects, short films, games, or digital resources—developed by the sector or academia—to support and inspire the engagement of children and young people with the built environment.
Criteria:
Impact: What meaningful difference has your project made? Describe the tangible benefits to children and young people, provide evidence of outcomes, and explain how you measured success. Demonstrate how effectively the project met, or exceeded, its stated objectives.
Insights: What valuable knowledge or best practices have emerged from your initiative? Share how you identified and applied these lessons, how you have communicated them to others, the breadth of the initiative’s reach, and how you addressed challenges along the way.
Metrics: Provide clear quantitative data that illustrates the scale and engagement of your project. Include the number of children and young people involved, participant retention throughout the programme, and key timelines such as the project’s start and duration.
Reflection: Reflect on how engaging with children and young people has influenced you, your team, or your organisation. Discuss changes in your own practice, shifts in perspective, or ways the experience has shaped your approach to future work.
This category is open to architectural practices, planners, engineers, developers, local authorities and others working in the built environment sector.
The submission form includes 10 concise but targeted questions about your project’s aims, process, and impact. Judges understand the limited time applicants have: being clear and succinct will work in your favour!
