This year the INDE.Awards jury breaks all records as the largest and most iconic group ever gathered together for the program.
February 4th, 2025
With the 2025 INDE.Awards well underway, it’s a good time to meet the members of our extraordinary jury. This year we have 24 returning jurors and 10 new participants who, together, present a unique breadth of experience and incredible wealth of knowledge that will ensure all entries are expertly judged from every perspective.
In 2025 we welcome a diverse group of remarkable practitioners from Australia, Hong Kong, China, Aotearoa/New Zealand, The Pacific, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, India, Spain and the USA. Each juror is a leader in their field of design and brings to the judging table an innate understanding of best practice, innovation and creativity.
To be judged by these exemplary jurors is indeed an honour and we thank every member of the 2025 INDE.Awards jury for their time and contribution in making this a stellar year for our program.
As the jury is the driving force of the INDE.Awards it is imperative to have only the very best professionals to investigate, analyse and adjudicate our entries. In 2025 we have an exceptional group.
Now is the time to enter the INDE.Awards and present your work to world experts. With the opportunity to receive accolades and awards that recognise the talent in our region, the 2025 INDE.Awards is once again making its mark on the Indo-Pacific and global stages of architecture and design.
