In recognition of the importance of good places for local communities, the Scottish Civic Trust announces its new awards programme dedicated to finding Scotland's thriving architectural design successes that contribute to making local places better.

The Scottish Civic Trust's My Place Awards aim to celebrate quality developments as nominated by the civic organisations that care passionately about their neighbourhood. In this, its first year, a Scottish Civic Trust My Place Award will be made to a winning project that contributes positively to local place-making.
