Entries are now open for the 2021 identity Design Awards, with interior designers and architects across the Middle East and North Africa invited to submit their projects. The Gala event is set to take place on the 17th of November, 2020.
Now in its seventh year, the annual edition of the identity Design Awards is continuing with its wider selection of categories that are split between Architecture and Interior Design.
The separate Architecture section features categories that span from residential and commercial buildings to cultural, commercial and hospitality projects.
Our Interior Design categories also includes a new addition, now featuring a Fit Out category.
The two Interior Design and Architecture sub-sections also each have a Design of the Year category, selected from among the winners of the interior design and architecture categories respectively.
Our panel of international jury members will be announced soon as well as the exciting new venue for the event.
The nominations close on 7 October, with shortlist scheduled to be announced on 17 October.
