Awards Criteria

 Awards Criteria

Anyone can enter an award, but wherever possible we strongly recommend that the designer/architects responsible for the hotel being entered compile the entry. 
Hotel owners, operators, developers, investors, PR's and other representatives are encouraged to co-ordinate entries for the hotel they represent with the relevant designers/architects.  If this is not possible, entries from these parties are welcomed.
For each submission, a separate entry and payment of £75.00 must be made.

• The criteria for success is based not only on creative excellence, but also on commercial viability.  As well as projects which are aesthetically impressive, the judges will be looking for evidence that winning designs have also met the needs of client and customers alike.
• Photography should clearly show the design and/or architecture of the area of the property relevant to the category in which it is entered.
• The judges will be looking for submissions showing rigorous and appropriate design, demonstrating a sensible use of budget to contribute to the guest experience as well as the "theatre" of hotel life while satisfying the client brief.
• Submitted material should demonstrate clearly why the project is thought to be worth an award in its chosen category and how the design sets the project at an award winning level.

In each category, the judges will be looking for:

• A comparison of the brief to the solution.
• A comparison of the budget to actual spend (where available).
• Evidence of an innovative approach, with intelligent use of space and materials.
• Sensitivity to operational issues, heritage and/or planning requirements, sustainability, and the surrounding environment.
• The individuality and innovation of the design and how these enhance the guest experience.
• The successful resolution of budget, building and timing issues.
• Sensitivity to issues of comfort, practicality, durability and ease of use.
• A robust case for success in the awards, backed up by solid facts and figures.

Please note, submissions that do not meet the entry requirements or criteria will be disregarded.  Entry fees will NOT be refunded for submissions disregarded due to failure to meet the entry requirements or criteria.

Please ensure you read the individual criteria for each category before submitting your entry.
