Now in its fourth edition, the SBID International Design Awards is firmly established as one of the most prestigious recognitions of excellence in the interior design industry.
Complete with a new website, judges and categories, this year’s awards are greatly anticipated. As ever, the awards serve to recognise, reward and celebrate design excellence, not only from the most luxurious of projects, but also innovative design and new talent working to limited budgets.
The fifteen categories range from best Retail Design, best Hotel Design, best Contract and Residential Product and best Public Space to best Visualisation (3D renderings), best residential Interior Design Project Over £1 million and best KBB (Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom). The deadline for submitting entries is Monday 14 July 2014.
Winning a SBID International Design Award is a distinguished achievement, as each category undergoes an exclusive two-tier judging process by panels of leading industry experts for both technical content and aesthetic creativity. Additionally, the public are invited to vote online for their favourite projects once the finalists have been announced.
The Awards will be judged by a selection of international industry leaders: Kevin Mau, Senior Creative Director at The Boeing Company; Ben McOwen Wilson, Director of Content Partnerships at YouTube; Jane Preston, Facilities Manager UK, Real Estate & Workplace Services at Google; David Lewis, Managing Director of Sunseeker London; Christopher Jenner, Creative Director at Eurostar; John Mathers, CEO of the Design Council; Mathew Dalby, Design Director at yoo; Carolina Calzada, Managing Director at Global Color Research; Patrick Taylor, Managing Director of Taylist Media; Katharine Pooley, Founder & Managing Director of Katharine Pooley Ltd; Theresa Dowling, Editor and Group Editorial Director for Progressive Market Intelligence design titles (FX, Blueprint) .
Finalists will then be announced in August 2014. Sponsors and VIPS will be invited to an afternoon tea at the House of Lords on Wednesday 12 November and the winners will be announced at the SBID International Design Awards ceremony at The Dorchester hotel in London on Friday 14 November.
