Next up in the series of opportunities to win an Empty Homes Award at this year's National Empty Homes Conference is the vital Innovation Award.
This has been sponsored yet again by Carson Millican. Carson has worked for several local authorities and the East London Regeneration Partnership as the lead on empty homes and is currently Director of Empty Property Solutions Ltd. He specialises in working with Local Authorities to develop empty property approaches and strategies that will win New Homes Bonuses and tap into available funding.
About the Innovation Award
Empty property practitioners excel at providing a range of solutions to the problem of wasted homes. It is hoped this award will highlight the innovative thinking required to deal with the difficult long term empties in a way that provides new solutions to old problems.
This award can cover individual interventions or entire schemes. We're looking for creative and original approaches, systems, interventions (or whatever) that have demonstrated their value in helping bring empty homes back into use.
Let us know how you made it happen. Suitable submissions will be featured in the Practice section of our website.
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).
Further information
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 this award is midnight, Friday, 5th May.
Thanks also to our main Conference sponsor Ad Hoc Property Management Ltd.
