A&D Awards 2020

For 17 years, the A&D Awards have set the benchmark for excellence in architecture and interior design and are respected as the most prestigious awards in this sector in the region.

This year, A&D Awards 2020 brings the best of the A&D Trophy Awards and A&D China Awards together into one streamlined awards program.

All categories have been overhauled and we have introducing new categories, including future developments and innovation & technology, to better reflect the demands of today’s industry. We are applying an even more rigorous two-tier judging process working with some of the most talented and respected industry practitioners on the jury panels.

What hasn’t changed is that A&D Awards is a recognised platform of excellence for you to showcase the best of your work to your peers in the wider industry and potential clients – developers, public sector agencies and industry suppliers.
