Congratulations!<br \/>\nThe Judges were carried away by the creativity of this initiative and the depth, at which, just one project had an impact on school children \u2013 of all ages &#8211; as well as for the wider community. Drama, history, sculpture, photography and nature were all choreographed out of outdoor learning space. Plus, in the Team\u2019s own words \u201cbehind all the activities that they were able to maximise, from the place, the bottom line was all the fun was really education by stealth\u201d. The Judges not only felt that the enthusiasm was infectious but, at its core, the project was embedded within the planning strategy for the area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: Simon Rennie MBE was non participative in this Judging process.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/G8j7qk26GFg\">Click here to see a short video story for Carron Dams Local Nature reserve: A Dam Fine Place<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>And finally\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From Planning and Architecture Division, Susie Stirling received Special Recognition Awards for herself and Graham Robinson (who was unable to attend on the night), for their long standing support in the promotion and development of SAQP.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/planning-architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/saqp-10.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2909 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/planning-architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/saqp-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/planning-architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/saqp-10.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/planning-architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/saqp-10-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/planning-architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/saqp-10-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/planning-architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/saqp-10-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/planning-architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/saqp-10-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/planning-architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/saqp-10-512x512.jpg 512w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/planning-architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/12\/saqp-10-420x420.jpg 420w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/1080;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With thanks to Dr Matthew Shepherd who was significant to year\u2019s event as well as to everyone who played a part in this year\u2019s SAQP.<\/p>\n<p>Entries for next year\u2019s Awards will open in March 2020.
