Waterways Renaissance Award - Enter Now!

If you or your partners are involved in a regeneration project or scheme on an inland waterway or connected lake then you could win a waterways renaissance award. The Awards, established by BURA (The British Urban Regeneration Association) in partnership with The Waterways Trust in 2002, have since recognised over 130 projects, ranging from exciting multi-use developments, sustainable environmental initiatives and educational projects changing the lives of disadvantaged young people, to innovative engineering schemes and the restoration of historic canal structures, basins and buildings.

In the past they have recognised projects on inland rivers, canals, broads, becks - both navigable and non-navigable and on lakes / lochs, when they are connected to a waterway (e.g. river / canal). Unfortunately coastal projects are not recognised in these awards.

The award is split into ten categories:

• Area Based Regeneration
• Community
• Design & Construction
• Education & Learning
• Historic Environment
• Innovation
• Natural Environment
• Partnership
• Recreation & Tourism
• Strategy & Masterplanning

It is free and simple to enter and the time you spend submitting an entry could gain you recognition as a leader in regeneration and waterways to professionals across the UK.
