Every year, at the
National Empty Homes Conference, we present awards to recognise excellence in empty homes work. One of the most coveted awards is that for
Empty Homes Practitioner of the Year.
We are proud that this year's award is sponsored by Kent's
No Use Empty partnership, led by Kent County Council.
How to apply
Submissions should be clear and to the point and no more than two sides of A4, maximum 1200 words or the equivalent in an email, per award
. You can send us more if you want - e.g. before and after pictures - but in evaluating the awards we will only look at the first 1200 words of the first two pages (which should therefore be self-contained).
We'd like to know why the nominated person deserves the award. We are interested in any of the following:
- innovation
- dedication
- organisation
- .... and/or any other quality or achievement that you think deserves recognition.
Don't be embarrassed to nominate yourself. Empty Homes Practitioners often work on their own and don't have colleagues that know how good they are!
Further information
Please note: the
Practitioner of the Year award is only available to
Full Members of the Empty Homes Network (Corporate, Collective or Individual).
Sorry but we can’t offer free or discounted Conference attendance fees to the winners. However, there will be a photo opportunity during the Conference and we publish and make available pictures of winners receiving their awards. The winning submissions are also featured in news stories after the event.
Please send your nominations to events@ehnetwork.org.uk
Closing date
The closing date for submissions for these awards is
midnight, Wednesday, 3rd May.
Thanks also to our main Conference sponsor Ad Hoc Property Management Ltd.
