“The Guildford Design Awards, as well as encouraging good design standards, give an opportunity to gather together in one place and recognise the scattered locations of great design work in our borough over the last two years. Hopefully too, publicising the results will bring this work, some of which is on open view, to public attention and appreciation. All the judges thank those who put forward their entries.”
