Hurray! Record number of entries!
Maybe it is the growing reputation of the award or possibly it is connected to the crises and the urgency of communication, but The Great Indoors was honoured to receive a total amount of 380 entries in five different categories. 50% More registrations than the previous edition!
For us this is an illustration of the need for our Award within the field and beyond, to recognise and celebrate best examples of non-private interior design.
Entries were submitted by all the big names in the field but we were also excited to receive entries from (still) unknown talents.
At the end of October, the jury will compose a shortlist of twenty-five designs.
