Councillor Jim Hanrahan, Chair of the City of Lincoln Council Planning Committee said: “This is the first year that City of Lincoln Council has introduced the idea of design awards.
“We wished to acknowledge and encourage good design in planning our city.
“In drawing up the shortlist, of recently completed schemes, the Council worked with colleagues from the Civic Trust and University of Lincoln.
“We have looked at lots of aspects that contribute to a great design, such as how the building contributes to its environment, and how it engages and stimulates visitors.”
“Although most of the buildings are very different in their designs, they all have one thing in common – They all make a positive contribution to the visual appeal of Lincoln.”
The winners of each category will also be put in for an overall award, the Outstanding Project Award which will be chosen by Councillor Jim Hanrahan, and presented at the end of the evening.
