IFI is proud to reveal the international jury of esteemed world leaders who will be responsible for designating the top accolades for individuals and built projects in Interior Architecture/ Design – the IFI Global Awards Program (IFI GAP) 2023-2024.
IFI’s highest honour, the IFI PRIZE, along with the IFI Design Journalism Award (IFI DJA) and the IFI Fellowship (FoIFI) recognize the exemplary contribution of individuals in strengthening and progressing Interior Architecture/Design, both within the profession and to broader audiences.
In the form of a global design competition, IFI’s Design Distinction Awards (IFI DDA) recognize excellence in designed outcomes of built projects, offering a quality peer-reviewed assessment of the best completed works from across the world.
