National Church Awards 2022

This year’s awards are:

  • Church architecture awards
  • Church maintenance awards
  • Church tourism awards
  • Church volunteer awards
  • Friends award
  • Church of the year award 
  • You can nominate your church or project for more than one award.

    If you want to enter more than one award, you will need to do so seperately for each award you enter. Some of the questions are similar across the different awards. We recommend that you download the guidelines / questions first and prepare your information before you make your entry.  That means that you will have the information you need readily to hand.

    You can find each of the award categories below. You will be able to amend your submission right up to the closing date.


    It’s really important to us and our partners that it is easy for you to submit a nomination for our awards. We are using an online platform called Zealous to make the process straightforward so as many churches, architects and volunteers as possible can take part.  If you have problems making an online entry, you can see help articles on their website here
