A biennial design awards in Jersey has been postponed and reduced to every three years due to challenges including a drop in entries.

The Jersey Architecture Commission Awards celebrate “high-quality local design” and showcase “the cultural and environmental value of good architecture”.

The Government of Jersey said in a statement, external the last awards in 2024 revealed challenges including a “25% drop in submissions, empty categories and significant officer resourcing pressures”, along with “wider departmental priorities”.

It said the issues reflected “the difficulty of delivering major projects within a two-year window”.
