LRWA Sustainability Award Entry Form

The LRWA ‘Sustainability Project of the Year’ award is open for entries and judged by an independent panel of experienced sustainability professionals.

The award criteria align to five core themes:

Reduced Environmental Impact
Beneficial Social Impacts
Product and System Innovation
Carbon Management and Reduction
Responsible Supply Chain Practices

Projects with evidence of activity relating to these themes during the design, specification or construction phase are eligible.

Entries do not need to cover every theme. If your project excels in one particular area, we encourage you to focus your entry there. Strong submissions include examples of best practice, evidence of overcoming sustainability challenges, and tangible outcomes, including quantitative data where possible.

Entries must be submitted by an LRWA member, and may be developed in conjunction with a supply chain partner.

Projects must have been completed between 28th November 2025 and 27th November 2026.

Deadline to enter: Friday 27th November 2026
Winners announced: Wednesday 17th March 2027 at the Titanic Hotel, Liverpool

Reduced Environmental Impact: projects designed to minimise the environmental impact of construction activities, conserve water, reduce waste, adopt clean logistics, and where possible make positive environmental impacts such as improvements to local biodiversity.
Beneficial Social Impacts: projects evidencing a positive impact on the local community such as those that create jobs (particularly in STEM fields), promote diversity and inclusion, and involve community engagement through initiatives such as education outreach or contributions to local infrastructure.
Product and System Innovation: projects showcasing the use of innovative new liquid-applied membrane technologies, production processes or application techniques that directly contribute to sustainability, in particular projects comprising products and practices with the potential to be scaled up or adapted for mainstream application.
Carbon Management and Reduction: projects demonstrating carbon and material efficiency, the implementation of products and processes that keep resources in use for as long as possible (circularity), the use of long-lasting liquid-applied membranes to lower the overall environmental footprint, and evidence of data-driven decisions to improve sustainability such as using EPDs.
Responsible Supply Chain Practices: projects that highlight measures such as responsible sourcing, strong governance and responsible decision making, supply chain support, and the sharing of data to ensure transparency and accountability, in particular projects comprising project-specific measures which could be scalable and adaptable for mainstream use.

Explain your reasons for entering the project, including any challenges or client requirements related to sustainability, and how the project addresses one or more of the five core themes above. Quantitative data to support your claims is encouraged wherever available.

Good quality photography is essential to the success of your entry. Judges use your photos to understand the scale, complexity and workmanship of the project, and to support the written parts of your entry.

Capture a good range of photos throughout the project, including work-in-progress and the finished result
Include photos of people working on site in the correct PPE, such as hard hats and hi-vis clothing
Tidy the work area before taking work-in-progress shots, and keep trip hazards such as trailing leads out of view
Take a mixture of long shots, mid-range shots and close-up detail shots, particularly of any difficult or unusual details
Use high resolution, in-focus images, and avoid obstructions such as trees or other buildings
For large projects, consider an aerial shot to show scale
Site operatives can use camera phones if a professional camera is not available, provided this is done safely

To guide entrants, the LRWA has provided further information on each of the five core themes, including example metrics: 1. Reduced Environmental Impact - projects designed to minimise the environmental impact of construction activities, conserve water, reduce waste, adopt clean logistics, and where possible make positive environmental impacts such as improvements to local biodiversity. 2. Beneficial Social Impacts - projects evidencing a positive impact on the local community such as those that create jobs (particularly in STEM fields), promote diversity and inclusion, and involve community engagement through initiatives such as education outreach or contributions to local infrastructure. 3.
