The 2021 INDE.Awards marks the programme’s fifth year, and our first opportunity as an industry to truly celebrate all that we have achieved in some of the most difficult of circumstances. This year, the Awards are not just a celebration of excellence but of resilience, perseverance and dedication, where a rapidly changing world demanded the highest levels of innovation and progressive thinking.

2021 has seen our highest ever number of entrants as we’ve welcomed back past alumni and uncovered new faces and names. This year has seen the launch of “The Graduate”, a new entrant category that recognises outstanding projects from final year architecture students.

It is with great excitement that we officially announce the 2021 INDE.Awards Shortlist: a selection that pays homage to the talent and vision of an industry and a region.

Winners of the 2021 INDE.Awards will be announced on Thursday August 5. Secure your free ticket for the live broadcast now and be there as we award our Region’s best and brightest.

We would like to thank our 2021 Jury for lending their time, expertise and knowledge to the judging process; our Platinum Partner Zenith and all Category Partners for their continued support of this programme and its vision; and to each and every entrant – for all that you contribute to our industry and your world.
