More than 50 entries were received earlier this year across five categories – cultural projects, new buildings, altered buildings and public realm and landscape.
A shortlist of 15 has been announced, with the winners due to be revealed at a ceremony at the Howard Assembly Room on 1 November.
The awards were open to schemes completed between July 2018 and June this year. Organisers included a cultural projects category as a nod to activity taking place in the city as part of LEEDS 2023.
