It all begins with an idea!
Active since 2021, the Inspire Future Generations Awards (IFGA) celebrate exceptional initiatives within the built environment that centre the voices of children and young people. This annual competition welcomes entries from architects, planners, local authorities, developers, and other built environment professionals who are committed to advancing participatory design with children and young people.
The IFGA recognises projects that demonstrate excellence, creativity, care, and a genuine commitment to engaging young people in shaping the spaces around them. Over the past four years, the Awards have played a key role in growing TET’s community of practice: connecting people, sharing knowledge, and fostering collaboration around inclusive and youth-centred design.
Our principal aim of running this awards programme is to open up space for young people to be heard, participate in and empowered in decisions about the environments they live, learn, and play in. By highlighting the value of participation, the IFGA helps ensure that the design of our cities and communities reflects the needs, ideas, and aspirations of younger generations. Each year the winning award entries are added to the TET Resource Bank, sharing knowledge, examples and speakers for TET Dialogues. The entries are featured in our Empowering Environment Report and winners will have space to present and reflect on their work. This year the IFGA present 16 categories spread across three sections, don’t loose your opportunity: enter for the IFGA25!
