Best Loved Award Entry Form

The Best Loved Award recognises and celebrates old buildings getting the maintenance they deserve, and the people looking after them. For more information on eligibility and criteria, check the Award page. 

You won't be able to save a draft of this form, so it's best to write your statement elsewhere and then copy and paste it into this form once you're ready to submit. Any questions? Email awards@spab.org.uk.

The judges may be in touch if they need more information to assist with the shortlisting process. Good luck!
