THE north west's best property schemes will have an opportunity to shine in 2006.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors is calling on teams and individuals involved in outstanding building projects in the north west to put themselves forward for the the 2006 RICS North West Awards.

The awards have been developed to recognise the best new projects in the built and natural environment.

A local community hall, a park shelter and a housing development with renewable energy supply were amongst the landmark developments to receive recognition at the inaugural RICS North West Awards in 2005.

The closing date for entries is January 20 and the shortlist will be announced on February 24.
