“In light of the challenges of the past two years, it’s fantastic to see eight projects shortlisted for the RIBA East Midlands 2022 Awards. The quality and range of the schemes selected, including two designed by regionally based practices, is testament to the skill and determination of the architects involved.”
All shortlisted projects will be assessed by a regional jury in early March with the winning projects announced later this spring.

Regional Award winners are considered for several RIBA Special Awards including the RIBA Sustainability Award sponsored by Michelmersh and the RIBA Building of the Year sponsored by Taylor Maxwell.
Regional Award winners will be considered for a highly coveted RIBA National Award in recognition of their architectural excellence, the results of which will be announced in the summer.
The shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize for the best building of the year will then be drawn from the RIBA National Award-winning projects, and the Stirling Prize winner will be announced in October.
