All events have now taken place and we have all our regional finalists who go through with a chance to win the Overall National Housing Federation Neighbourhood Award.
Welcome to the Neighbourhood Awards (formerly the iNbiz Awards)
We are very pleased to announce the details of this year's shortlist .Please view shortlist to check out the results.
A big congratulations to all housing associations who have made it through to this crucial stage but as importantly, a big thank you to everybody who entered this year.
The standard of entries in 2008 has been very high and our tenant judges have been impressed with the level of detail and work that has been put into many of the submissions.
The awards celebrate the work that comes from housing associations' commitments to customers, neighbourhoods and excellence.
These awards are unique because they are judged by tenants from across the country. One overall winner is selected from among the category winners by a panel of experts.
Winners are announced at the glittering ceremony on 18 September 2008 at the National Housing Federation annual conference in Birmingham.
Good luck !
Tenant judges
The success of the Neighbourhood Awards has been largely due to the participation of over 80 nominated tenant and resident judges.
As part of our ongoing commitment to tenant and resident participation in the judging process of the Neighbourhood Awards, we asked again for nominations for tenants and residents to judge in 2008 and, we have to say, we weren't dissappointed. Well over 100 this year participated!
Voting is now closed
Last year's overall winner
Last year's overall winner was Julie Fadden (pictured with awards’ host Trisha Goddard) from South Liverpool Housing.
The work of Julie and the other winners showed that housing associations go the extra mile to provide neighbourhoods where people feel proud to live.
