CPRE Centenary National Awards
To celebrate our 100th year, we are launching the Centenary Awards – to recognise the people, projects and ideas that are helping the countryside and its communities thrive.
Across England, individuals, businesses and community groups are finding practical, inspiring ways to protect and enhance the countryside. Our awards will showcase these achievements and celebrate the positive changes happening right now.
From innovative housing solutions and rooftop solar to community-led green spaces and champions for countryside access, each award will tell a story about how people are shaping a better future for rural landscapes and the communities connected to them.
As we mark a century of standing up for the countryside, the Awards are also about looking forward. By highlighting inspiring solutions and leadership, we want to show how the countryside can flourish over the next 100 years.
