The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has extended the deadline for entries to the CIOB Awards to 10 June 2022.
CIOB opened nominations in its annual search for the UK’s finest construction and built environment talent in April.
Entries were invited for a number of categories, including two new ones – and CIOB has decided to extend the deadline.
The new categories are the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Awards, for both individuals and companies, launched six months on from the publication of the CIOB Special Report and Charter: Diversity and Inclusion in Construction.
These EDI awards have been designed to recognise the importance of diversity in the workplace and to shine a light on those who create an inclusive environment in which all employees feel valued and can thrive. The nominations are expected to highlight examples of a commitment to embedding EDI in the construction sector.
CIOB has also introduced a Sustainability Award, to celebrate the work of those companies taking steps to become more sustainable, by looking at new methods to cut down on waste or introducing new products that can help improve the building process.
CIOB also has one international category, the Rising Star award, now in its third year. This category highlights the achievements and early career impact of those who have been in construction for five years or less.
The CIOB Awards are free to enter and open to non-members, as well as members of CIOB. The nominations process is relatively straightforward, with nomination submissions limited to a maximum of 1000 words, plus testimonials submitted in support being limited to 500 words.
The extended deadline for entries is 10 June 2022.
