Walter Bor Media Awards

The Walter Bor Media Awards, presented every two years, commemorate the distinguished architect-planner Walter Bor, the first President of the London Forum of Amenity and Civic Societies, and seek to promote high standards in the material published in all media by member societies.

The judging panel for the 2007 awards, presented at The Gallery on 13 November 2007, was chaired by Peter Murray (Curator of New London Architecture). The other members of the panel were Brian Waters (Chairman of the London Planning & Development Forum), Adam Wilkinson (Secretary of SAVE) and our Vice-Presidents Judy Hillman and Bill Tyler.
