Bridges opened to the public during 2008, 2009 or 2010 are eligible. Entries must be submitted by 21 January 2011. The winners will be announced on 7 July 2011 at the Footbridge 2011 conference. The full entry form is available online.
Astoundingly, the Happy Pontist isn't one of the judges. If I were, who would I be voting for? My shortlist might include:
- XStrata Treetop Walkway, London (May 2008)
- Joan Camps Footbridge, Granollers (July 2008)
- Castleford Bridge, Castleford (July 2008)
- Passerelle Valmy, Paris (July, 2008)
- Ponte della Costituzione, Venice (September 2008)
- Meads Reach Bridge, Bristol (September 2008)
- Fisherman's Bridge, Lake District (2008/9)
- Tradeston Bridge, Glasgow (May 2009)
- Forthside Bridge, Stirling (May 2009)
- David Kreitzer Lake Hodges Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge, Escondido (May 2009)
- Infinity Bridge, Stockton-on-Tees (May 2009)
- Can Gili Footbridge, Granollers (January 2010)
- Roche-sur-Yon Bridge, La Roche Sur Yon (February 2010)
- Te Rewa Rewa Bridge, New Plymouth (June 2010)
I am open to further suggestions. What have I forgotten (probably plenty!) Which footbridges do you think should be up for these Awards? Should your bridge be on the list?

I think Christian Menn's footbridge at Princeton would also be a tough competitor
Yes, it's one of Menn's best bridges. No doubt only one of many that I have forgotten!
