SBID International Design Awards is an interior design awards with residential and showhome categories. It is an awards programme recognising work within its stated sector. Entries are submitted against categories and criteria published by the organiser. Judges then assess projects, products, organisations or individuals before a shortlist and final winners are announced.
What the awards recognise
Judging will cover subjects such as design, delivery, innovation, sustainability, technical performance, customer outcomes, organisational achievement or individual contribution. Shortlisted entries provide examples of how participating organisations and professionals have addressed those criteria. The ceremony brings the categories together and publishes the judging outcomes.
The event is therefore centred on submitted work and the assessment process rather than a general conference or exhibition. The organiser’s eligibility rules, category descriptions, judging panel and published shortlist establish the scope of each edition. Taken together, those elements show which projects, products, companies or people have been selected for recognition within the programme and the criteria against which that recognition has been made.
Published category lists and shortlisted entries also show the range of work submitted in that year. This can include completed developments, design projects, technical products, business initiatives or individual achievements, according to the organiser’s rules. The resulting shortlist and winners form a documented outcome of the judging process for that edition.
