Renaissance Awards
Waterways Renaissance Awards 2010
The 2010 Waterways Renaissance Awards are now open for entry with an announcement from the British Urban Regeneration Association (BURA) and The Waterways Trust of a new category for the 2010 Awards.
Flood Risk Management has risen in prominence over the years and following the success of Boscastle Valency Flood Defence, which won a special award at the 2009 Waterways Renaissance Awards, BURA and The Waterways Trust have extended the Awards to include a specific category dedicated to this area.
Projects that have successfully combined the provision of security against flood risk with enhanced environmental sustainability and local economic, social and physical development are encouraged to enter the 2010 Waterways Renaissance Awards.
The Awards, now in their eighth year, celebrate exemplary regeneration projects, successful environmental schemes and innovative community initiatives that contribute to the renaissance of the UK’s inland waterways.
Eleven award categories ensure that all entries will receive appropriate consideration from the expert assessment panel. Previous winners range from multi-use developments, nature parks and educational projects changing the lives of disadvantaged young people, to innovative engineering schemes and the restoration of historic canal structures and buildings.
The 2010 Waterways Renaissance Awards are supported by: Defra, Halcrow, Morrison Construction - who have all remained dedicated to the scheme for several years, in addition to a new sponsor, May Gurney.
