SBID call for 2015 International Design Award entries
Architects, interior designers and manufacturers called to enter international awards
The SBID International Design Awards 2015 are now open for submissions from architects, interior designers and manufacturers, following the success of last year’s event which saw a 15% increase in entries from over 30 countries.
Established in 2011, the awards were created to recognise, reward and celebrate design excellence from super luxury projects to limited budgets.
The awards programme has grown to include best KBB Project, best Hotel Design, Retail Design and Intelligent Design. And this year also sees the addition of Office Design and Healthcare Design, bringing the total of award categories to 14.

Each category undergoes a two-tier judging process by panels of industry experts for technical content and aesthetic creativity, and evaluates elements such as brief compliance, budget, health & safety, and fit-for-purpose design.
Entrants also get the opportunity to promote their submission once the finalists have been announced as the public will be invited to vote for their favourite projects online.
The panel of judges this year will include Lewis Carnie, head of programmes at BBC Radio 2 & 6; Sir Michael Dixon, director at the National History Museum, London and Robert Hudson, chief executive of the National Association of Shopfitters. They add to the existing line-up of Kevin Mau, senior creative director at The Boeing Company; Ben McOwen Wilson, director of content partnerships at YouTube; Jane Preston, facilities manager UK, Real Estate & Workplace Services at Google; David Lewis, managing director of Sunseeker London; Mathew Dalby, creative director at The Studio at Harrods; Carolina Calzada, managing director at Global Color Research and Theresa Dowling, editor and group editorial director for Progressive Market Intelligence (FX, Blueprint) .
The entry deadline is July 30, 2015, with the finalists announced in September and winners named at the SBID International Design Awards ceremony at The Dorchester Hotel in London on November 27, 2015.

Sintered stone manufacturer Neolith has launched Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset, inspired by nature and classical architecture, and for use in kitchens or bathrooms walls, floors, in gardens or facades.
They belong to The New Classtone and Fusioncollections which interpret marble and natural stone, respectively, and boast Neolith’s antibacterial NeolEAT technology.
Inspired by Ancient Rome, Calacatta Roma (pictured top) pays homage to Italian Carrara marble, with ochre and grey veins in a white background.
While the Cappadocia region, in central Turkey, with its rock formations formed by volcanoes and underground cities, has inspired Cappadocia Sunset (pictured below).
Just like all of Neolith’s surfaces, Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset are resistant to heat and atmospheric conditions, are 100% recyclable, and do not contain added quartz to their formulation.
