Blue Plaque Nomination
How to Apply for a Blue Plaque
If you'd like to nominate a person, event or building for a Leeds Civic Trust Blue Plaque, please take a look at our criteria, guidance notes and nomination form.
All nominations are considered by the Trust’s Heritage Panel, which meets quarterly – January, April, July, and October. Due to the current number of approved blue plaques, any nominations that are approved will not be looked to be unveiled until 2027–2028.
Please note that it can take years before a plaque is unveiled; this can be due to several factors, e.g., gaining permission from a building owner. Currently, plaques approved by our Trustees take on average 2-3 years to be unveiled.
Please return your completed nomination form to office@leedscivictrust.org.uk
The next meeting of the Heritage and Culture Panel will take place in April 2026. Any nominations submitted before then will not be reviewed until that time.
If you would like your nomination to be considered at the April meeting, please submit it no later than 10 April 2026.
After the panel reviews the nominations, they will be forwarded to our Board of Trustees for final approval. All nominators will be informed of the decision by the end of May 2026.
Please note: Due to the current number of approved blue plaques awaiting installation, any new nominations that are approved will not be scheduled for unveiling until 2027–2028.
