The National Churches Trust and the Ecclesiastical Architects and Surveyors Association are inviting entries for two top church architecture awards.
New church buildings and new designs in church alterations or extensions can be entered for the Presidents' Award. The Presidents’ Award is awarded on behalf of the National Churches Trust's Joint Presidents, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and the Ecclesiastical Architects and Surveyors Association (EASA) President. The architects responsible for the winning project will receive the Presidents’ Award paten and chalice. The winning church or chapel will receive a £500 prize.
Innovative, high quality church conservation or repair work can be entered for the King of Prussia Gold Medal. The Gold Medal was the gift of King Freidrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia in 1857 who was highly impressed with British Victorian church architecture. The architects responsible for the winning project will receive the prestigious King of Prussia Gold Medal. The winning church or chapel will receive a £500 prize.
This year, a 'Young Church Architect of the Year' award is available to an architect under 40 who has been responsible for a winning design of either a scheme for The King of Prussia Gold Medal or The Presidents' Award.
