These premier awards, which have been running since 1978, are for outstanding group achievement in town and country planning and celebrate the planning professions' contribution to the quality of life throughout the British Isles and Ireland. The awards recognise the diversity of planning achievement, whether in urban or rural areas, whether large or small in scale, whether involving new development or regeneration and whether promoted by the public, private or community sectors. The awards look beyond purely physical outcomes to recognise innovative plans, processes, techniques, information systems, programmes of community involvement and improvements to public services.

Most RTPI Regions have been running their own Regional award schemes; for information please go to the appropriate Regional website.
