AWARDS
Le Prinsaeu Winner of the heritage award and the people’s choice award in 2020
ENTRIES OPEN FOR GUERNSEY DESIGN AWARDS 2022 The 2022 Guernsey Design Awards, which celebrate outstanding design in Guernsey’s built environment, are now open for entries from individuals and firms throughout the sector.
The Guernsey Design Awards are held every two years and aim to promote distinctive, original, inspirational and sustainable design across a variety of categories, from building and landscaping to interiors and public art. The awards are sponsored by Norman Piette and were developed by the States of Guernsey Planning Service, Norman Piette and The Guernsey Society of Architects, and are supported by CIAT, with the judging panel comprising representatives from architecture, construction, related industries and the arts. Previous winners include contemporary and heritage residential builds, developments, social housing, landscaping, interior schemes and public art. Entries are limited to projects completed between 22 November 2019 and 26 November 2021, and judges will reward projects that have fulfilled the original brief, reached the highest standards both functionally and aesthetically, and which fit harmoniously into the environment.

The winners, however, aren’t all chosen by the judges. All of the shortlisted entries are eligible for the people’s choice award, which is given to the entry with the highest number of public votes. As well as the main categories, awards are given to the contractors responsible for the winning projects. Last year, due to Covid, the winners were announced via video on Facebook Live. This year, a presentation evening is planned for Friday 25 March 2022 at the Princess Royal Centre for Performing Arts. However, following the success of last year’s virtual event, the 2022 presentation will also be broadcast online. The closing date for entries is Friday 26 November.
