The RTPI Planning Awards were established in 1978 and since that time the award programme has been at the forefront of recognising and rewarding outstanding achievement in planning.

Members of the RTPI can submit entries in a range of award categories which acknowledge the diversity of planning achievement, whether in urban or rural areas; large or small in scale; involving new development or regeneration; and whether promoted by the public, private or community sectors.

Award entries are judged by a panel of experienced practitioners, through a combination of a written submission, interviews and site visits.
