Celebrating the best in conservation and new design
We champion the best in conservation and new design through our annual OPT Awards scheme. Every year we consider projects of every size and type from across our city. We celebrate those which make a significant contribution to Oxford’s character and communities.
We are always on the lookout for great projects - entries for the 2024 Awards are now closed. Contact Louise l.lockyer@oxfordpreservation.org.uk for more information.
OPT Awards 2023
There was a buzz in the air as many Oxford people from across the city, town and gown, came together for this year’s Awards in the Garden Quadrangle at St John’s College, itself an award-winning building. William Whyte, Chair of the Awards Panel, took command of the stage and with great comic timing, entertained our guests as he brought the fifty-two projects to life. Every one of them had been visited as part of the judging and together, they made an extraordinary array of the breadth and the talent engaged in making and looking after Oxford’s best buildings and places. We were also delighted to welcome Harriet Waters, Head of Environmental Sustainability at the University of Oxford, to present this year's Green Award.
Thank you to our sponsors
Thank you to our sponsors Critchleys, Mathews Comfort Insurance Brokers, and Carter Jonas for enabling us to celebrate the positive contribution new projects make to Oxford’s streets and communities.
