The
SUBMISSION
Once registered on www.bcoawards.co.uk, you can create multiple entries, which will save as
you go along, allowing you to return and complete at your leisure. The deadline for all entry
submissions is 5pm, Friday 4 December 2026. Once you have submitted your entry you will be
able to return to review it but not amend it.
All projects for the 2027 Awards must have been completed between 1 January 2022 and
1 November 2026 and the significant use of the building should be for offices. Only the office
area will be judged. Projects do not need to be occupied in order to be eligible for submission.
Where a previous BCO Awards submission covered only an early phase of a wider project,
the project may be entered again at a later stage following the completion of a subsequent phase.

CORPORATE WORKPLACE
This award is open to either a building
commissioned by owner-occupiers or a joint
venture between a developer and an occupier.
This could be a refurbishment or new-build, or a
combination of the two. The entry will be judged
on the combined merits of its base build
and fit-out.
COMMERCIAL WORKPLACE
A new building initiated on a speculative basis for
commercial letting, including buildings that are
substantially pre-let or sold to an occupier. In this
category only the base build will be judged. Deep
Retrofit buildings may also fall within this category
where the new-build element represents more than 60%
of the project from an embodied-carbon perspective.
FIT-OUT OF WORKPLACE
An award for a space or spaces within a building
that will be judged on the interior fit-out.
PROJECTS UP TO 2,500M2 NET
This award is open to all projects up to 2,500m2
of net office area in any of the previous categories.
If you wish to enter your project in more
than one category, you will need to submit
a new form, a separate submission
document and a fee will be payable for
each category entered. Make sure each
of your submission documents reflect the
requirements of the category being
entered and please also upload different
images and material, reflective of
the category.
Regional winners go on to compete for
a National Award in their category and
the chance for an additional trophy in the
following category:
BEST OF THE BEST
The Best of the Best Award will be presented to the
project which is deemed particularly exemplary.
Chosen from the national winners, this award is a true
testimony to the vision shown by the project team.
