Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to shout about the successes of your housing association.
This year we are celebrating the incredible neighbourhood achievements of our members through the regional What We Are Proud Of Awards - which were rolled out to every region last year, instead of through the national Neighbourhood Awards
There are nine regional What We Are Proud Of Awards up for grabs all of which will be judged by our tenant judges.
When can I enter?
Entries Open: 16 February 2009
Entries Close: 30 March 2009
Shortlisted will be notified by Friday 15 May 2009. The regional winner will be voted for and announced at the dedicated regional awards event
Please note: For the What We Are Proud Of Awards it is vital that if you are successfully shortlisted, you are available to attend the specific What We Are Proud Of regional event that you entered to give a short presentation (between 10–15 minutes) to the event attendees.
An overall winner will be decided by a regionally representative panel of judges from all the regional winners. The winner will be announced at the Annual Conference 23-25 September 2009.
