Just as important as accolades is shared knowledge. And there’s plenty to share in the Indo-Pacific region. Don’t wait – submit your INDE entry now and share your story!
February 21st, 2020
The INDE.Awards was established with the fundamental idea of bringing together people from within the Indo-Pacific region and showcasing and celebrating fine design. Now more than ever, coming together, being together and celebrating together is important. It is important to share the recognition and the accolades but most of all it is important to connect and build relationships that can help foster better learning and a deeper understanding between people.

With the INDE.Awards submission period closing at the end of this week, time is short to enter. There is much to be excited about however this year in recognition of the new decade, two new categories have been included and what a lovely way to review the past 10 years and commend great design with Best of the Decade | The Living Space and Best of the Decade | The Work Space. These categories honour talented practitioners and showcase projects that are exemplars, have set a benchmark for design and influenced the way we live and work.
