Every year, the INDE.Awards acts as a barometer of our progress as an industry and a region, a platform through which the excellence from the last 18 months can be elevated, celebrated and recognised across the globe. Enter the 2023 awards now.

Since the awards were first launched in 2017, they have attracted entries from across the Indo-Pacific, becoming the world’s only architecture awards program to encompass the entire region and its progressive and intuitive design vernacular.

This year, INDEs continues to develop and innovate with three new, exciting categories. Two residential and commercial photographer categories – read all about it here, and its first-ever Interior Space category which pays tribute to the incredible work of interior designers through exceptional residential design.

So, while you’re perusing our comprehensive entry guide, contemplate these 5 indispensable reasons for entering.

1. Represent Australian design, globally

The INDE.Awards is set apart by its commitment to the Indo-Pacific. As a global programme with local roots, our shortlisters and winners are a testament to the diversity of their geographic, cultural and architectural contexts. Through the awards, we explore that which brings us together and sets us apart, celebrating the similarities and differences which make our region truly great.

It is this commitment that positions INDE.Awards as the perfect platform for those throughout the region, allowing all entrants to represent their countries on the global stage. Join judges, ambassadors and a family of alumni who hail from right across the Indo-Pacific, where the shared pursuit of excellence creates a platform for celebrations.

2. Boost your profile in a big way

Winning an INDE.Award is a lasting legacy for any firm. Stepping onto the INDE stage brings a unique opportunity to get your project noticed across the globe, elevating your story, your team and your work to an audience of thousands. Don’t miss your opportunity to get noticed like never before, as all the eyes in the region turn to you.

3. Tell your story and get the recognition you deserve

INDE.Awards offers the chance to tap into a truly regional network of print, digital and content driven media. Through these platforms, we have built an audience for INDE that is global in its reach, taking the best of local design and elevating it across the world.

These networks are extended thanks to our corporate and strategic partners, who tap into their own channels to share the INDE programme further and wider than ever before.

4. Join the community – it’s a group of people like no other

The INDE community is unlike any other. Brought together by our shared passion for architecture and design, the INDE’s brings together designers, architects, industrial designers, career legends and progressive trail blazers in a yearly celebration of excellence. From entrants, shortlisters, winners, judges, ambassadors, partners and our ever-growing audience of design-aficionados, our community continues to set the standard for industry-wide recognition and celebrations. Interact with people and firms who are at the top of their game and make valuable connections with our partners.

For those lucky few who receive the honour of INDE gold, the INDE alumni community opens up a community bonded by their achievements. Join the likes of John Wardle, Bates Smart, Koichi Takada and Partners Hill and be part of the INDE.Awards inner circle, where your success will continue to be celebrated in the years to come.
