Eddie Tulasiewicz from the National Churches Trust told Premier he hoped the awards would inspire more people to get involved and interested in their actual church buildings.
He said: "The prayer is that human beings have a lot of creativity in them, they have the potential to create wonderful artist buildings, and we hope that increasingly architects will do more work to build churches, new churches and also keep new churches in their existing condition."
There was a new award for 2016, Young Church Architect of the Year.
The award recognises the contribution being made to church buildings by architects in the early stages of their career and was awarded to Tania Gomez-Duran, of Associate at Freeland Rees Roberts, for her work on St Mary and St Thomas of Canterbury in Wymondham, Norfolk.
Eddie Tulasiewicz told Premier what they were looking for in winners this year.
