The Asia Pacific region is coming of age, and that’s exactly what the INDE.Awards recognise and honour.

We speak to four of our INDE.Awards 2017 judges – Stephen Burks (Designer, Stephen Burks Man Made), Paul McGillick (Writer and Editor), Sue Carr (Founder, Carr Design Group) and Adele Winteridge (Founder, Foolscap Studio) – and hear their thoughts on what makes the INDE.Awards such a value component of the APAC A&D scene.

We also hear some special insights from Stephen Ormandy, Co-Founder, Dinosaur Designs (our trophy designer), about the thinking that went into the design of a trophy to represent regional excellence.

Congratulations to all our winners in the inaugural INDE.Awards 2017!
