There are sixteen categories to choose from, which each reflect the vital work that housing organisations continue to deliver on a daily basis. The most popular categories are back, alongside the brand new Excellence in the Private Rented Sector Award.

The application process couldn’t be easier - simply read through the entry criteria, describe the people and projects that inspire you, and submit your entry online. The closing date for nominations is September 8.

The winners will be announced at a special Excellence Awards Dinner being held at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on October 27. This black-tie event will be hosted by star of radio and panto, Grant Stott. To book your place, please visit the CIH Scotland website.
