Time To Shine – The INDE.Awards 2021 Are Here!

Time To Shine – The INDE.Awards 2021 Are Here!

With 2021 well and truly underway the INDE.Awards are open and now is the time for architecture and design to take centre stage.

Since its inception in 2017, the INDE.Awards has created a legacy of greatness, attracting the very best in architecture and design in our annual celebration of regional excellence.

As the only awards program of its kind, the INDE.Awards is a uniting force for the Indo-Pacific, where winners, shortlisters and judges are chosen for their ability to speak to the diversity, ingenuity and progressiveness of our local region’s design identity. More than just an event, the INDEs are a community, where being shortlisted is an achievement and receiving an award is the pinnacle of success. It’s a time to shine on a local stage as well as gather recognition and enhance reputations on both regional and global platforms as well. Three singular opportunities which combine to extend relationships and make new ones.

Following on from last year’s program – which saw a record number of submissions and the launch of our inaugural Digital Gala – 2021 will provide even more opportunities to celebrate: we’ll be welcoming back our physical INDE.Awards Gala, which will be held in tandem with a digital live stream; will expand the INDE offering with a full-day of knowledge seminars; and will put the future of our industry centerstage with a brand-new award category.

Our Biggest Celebration Yet

The 2021 INDE.Awards will mark our first dual event format, where a black-tie ceremony in Sydney will be combined with a global live stream. For an event that continues to grow and expand across the region, the 2021 format allows for an unprecedented reach that ensures everyone can be part of the INDE community.

The awards this year will be held in Sydney on Thursday August 5th. More information on tickets and the live stream will be released closer to the event.

Introducing the INDE.Summit

This year, we look forward to taking our program to even greater heights with our inaugural INDE.Summit to be held the day of our gala event. We will bring together expert practitioners to talk about and discuss the matters that concern the wider architectural community now. The INDE.Summit will be a knowledge-based experience that will inform and connect all those who attend.

We look forward to seeing your work in the INDE.Awards and meeting you at the INDE.Summit where design will live and breathe on the local, regional and global stages.
