THE GEORGIAN GROUP ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING PRIZE 2008
in celebration of the sixtieth birthday of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales
His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is renowned and admired for his longstanding practical commitment to the encouragement of traditional skills, including drawing skills. To celebrate his achievements in this field and to help mark His Royal Highness's sixtieth birthday in November 2008, The Georgian Group has teamed up with The Prince's Drawing School and the Traditional Architecture Group of the Royal Institute of British Architects to offer a prize for a measured drawing of a Georgian building.
The prize, to be awarded at a ceremony at The Ritz, London on 26 November, aims to promote and reward excellence in measured architectural drawing and to encourage close study and understanding of Georgian buildings.
First Prize – £1,000 plus a hand-made trophy designed by the architect Quinlan Terry
Second Prize – £750
Third Prize – £500
The prize is for a drawing of an exterior or interior of an existing Georgian building. It is open to British subjects and to citizens of the British Commonwealth, British Overseas Territories, Crown Dependencies and the USA. Entrants must be under 40 on 1 May 2008. Work completed since 1 January 2007 is eligible.
Entries must be received before 5pm Friday 19 September 2008. There is no entry fee.

THE CLEARY FUND: BUILING RESTORATION GRANTS
Through the F. E. Cleary Heritage Fund (commonly known as The Cleary Fund), The Georgian Group gives small grants each
year towards the repair and restoration of Georgian buildings and
monuments in the United Kingdom. This adds a highly practical and positive dimension to the
Group’s conservation work; in many instances, even though the amount of
money given is small in absolute terms, the grant makes a major
difference to the viability of a restoration scheme. The intention is to
pump-prime schemes, prompt other sources to make grants and to fund
specific elements in larger schemes.
Around five grants, averaging about £1500 each, are given annually. Grants are usually made towards the conservation
of buildings in public ownership or to which there is public access,
although they may occasionally be given towards other projects such as
the recording of threatened buildings.
