“The range of excellent projects entered for this year’s RIBA Awards mirror the diversity of Yorkshire itself. Whether embracing its beautiful landscapes, heritage or celebrating its dynamic future, what they have in common is inventiveness and imagination in addressing their individual context and creating places that bring delight.”
All shortlisted projects will be assessed by a regional jury with the winning buildings announced at the RIBA Yorkshire Awards evening and reception on May 16th, 2019 at Aspire, Leeds. Guest speaker for the evening will be the RIBA President elect Alan Jones.

The shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize for the best building of the year will be drawn from the RIBA National Award-winning buildings later in the year.
