Well, the 2023 INDE.Awards is at its most exciting stage of the year and the shortlisted in each category has been revealed. However, it’s time to think about the ultimate accolade, the greatest honour of them all, the distinction of being named The Best of The Best.
The Best of The Best is a very special category and the pinnacle of achievement at the INDE.Awards. The practice and project that receives this honour are celebrated and revered by our regional, and indeed our global, architecture and design community, as this is an award that few receive.
The Best of The Best is chosen by the jury from the category winners. To have won in category is indeed an accomplishment, but then to receive the award of The Best of The Best is the pinnacle of success.
