Announcing the 2020 Workspace Awards Shortlist!
Published
Since 2017, the Workspace Awards have been a highlight on Australia’s design calendar, celebrating interior design, and showcasing the finest work in our community.
Open to all Australian designers and firms across the commercial and residential sectors, the Workspace Awards program is a celebration of all that’s great about our industry.
Split between the structures of Primary and Major Categories, the Workspace Awards always see a broad entry base from independent designers and small firms, as well as medium and large design companies.
An independent awards program, the Workspace Awards has grown rapidly over its four years, and in 2020, although having the most unusual circumstances, the awards has received incredible support and entries.
Due to the current circumstances around COVID-19, the Workspace Awards has unfortunately had to be postponed until early 2021. A silver lining for this though, is that the postponed WorkSpace Awards show will allow the Workspace team to deliver and execute a truly incredible, interactive event. Keep an eye out on the Workspace social media (@workspacecf_ and @workspaceawards) and Website for more information and new event date.
