A guiding principle of the Urban Land Institute is that the achievement of excellence in land use practice & design should be recognised and rewarded. Since 1979, ULI has honoured outstanding development projects in both the private and public sectors. In a similar vein, property consultants CBRE have been at the forefront in promoting excellence in placemaking across the globe.
The fourth annual ULI IRELAND EXCELLENCE IN PLACEMAKING AWARDS, supported by CBRE, rewards best practice in placemaking in the Irish market.
The awards reward organisations and communities throughout Ireland that make genuine efforts to improve their local communities through the initiation of projects that add to the public realm and make better places in which to live, work and play.

If the submission advances to finalist status, at least one jury member will schedule and conduct a site visit to verify and possibly to expand upon all submitted information.
Shortlisting and judging will be completed by the end of September 2022 with winners announced at an event in October 2022.
There will be a prize for the best community project and the best private/public sector project in each of the five category locations – (Dublin, Rest of Leinster, Munster, Connaught and Ulster).
Each winning project will win a bespoke trophy and the project will be showcased in the Irish media.
The winning entries in each of the five locations will in turn be eligible for consideration for the overall national Placemaking award, the prize for which will be a contribution of €5,000 towards the design of a bespoke piece of sculpture, art or community project for the benefit of the local community in which the winning project is based.
