Loughton Building Design Award 2026

PRESS RELEASE

Loughton Building Design Awards 2026

NOMINATIONS are invited for this annual awards scheme, looking to celebrate good design and give public recognition to recent local building projects in Loughton that make a positive contribution to the local environment. As a Town Council, we continually seek to protect and enhance our town and reward those individual examples of good design and construction and/or sympathetic restoration.

Residents, architects, developers, building contractors and owners are all encouraged to nominate their favourite building projects that were completed within the last two years.
If there’s a new development, whether commercial or residential, or a refurbished property that has caught your eye and deserves to be celebrated, this is an opportunity to send in your nomination. Schemes can be large or small – from a simple alteration to a large new development.

The closing date for nominations is Friday 30 January 2026, with presentations to the award winners made at the Annual Town Meeting on Wednesday 18 March 2026 in the Murray Hall. Nomination forms can be downloaded from our website using the link below:
