The Isle of Wight Society Conservation Awards 2024
The Award Scheme is for the recognition of good building work that contributes to the character of the Island. We share the presentation event with RIBA Isle of Wight and CPRE who present their Good Lighting Award.
Our aims are to encourage a high standard of planning, architecture, and the conservation of buildings and their setting on the Island. Entries will be judged on the quality of design and the work overall and also the visual impact on the environment.
The RIBA IOW Architects Design Awards
The RIBA IOW Branch has run awards that promote good building design on the Island. Awards are presented in tandem with the Isle of Wight Society Conservation Awards. The quality of new build, alterations and extensions on the Island is going from strength to strength. The branch is keen to focus public attention on what makes good, modern design and to showcase excellence in local architecture to the community.
The RIBA IOW New Build Award, Both RIBA IOW and the Isle of Wight Society are
looking for new build projects on the Island which are both innovative and of exceptional design.
The scope of both the IWS and RIBA awards has been broadened and projects completed within the last 5 years are eligible.
Anyone undertaking renovation work or environmental conservation on a building project will be considered.
