Dumfries Infirmary opened to patients late last year and is in line for a property award
A new hospital in Dumfries is vying for a top international property award to be announced in Cannes in March.
The multi-million pound project faces competition from Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands for the Best Healthcare Development title.
A hospital in Belgium is one of the other contenders for the prize

They are the Hospital AZ Zeno in Knokke-Heist in Belgium, the O2 Laboratory and Research Building in Amsterdam and The Maersk Tower in Copenhagen.
The final contender is the Maersk Tower in Copenhagen
The winners will be announced on 15 March.
