The Middle East s architecture, design, interiors + property magazine DESIGN AWARDS 2016 Media kit
THE EVENT Following the immense success of the inaugural identity design awards in 2015, identity, the region s leading monthly magazine dedicated to contemporary design, interiors, architecture, landscape, and property, is proud to announce plans for the second annual id Design Awards to be held in October 2016.

Launched by Motivate in 2002, identity is dedicated to excellence in all forms of design - and regarded and revered as the regional authority on global trends, with a reputation for professional, unbiased and independent editorial content of the highest calibre. These are the attributes that are also applied to the id Awards. A special retail category highlighting the growing interiors sector will be a focal point of the awards programme. Readers and designers alike will be able to vote online for their favourite sources of interior accessories, equipment and brands. With support from our readers, identity will seek to identify and honour the ultimate shopping destination for furniture, furnishings and appliances. The criteria for the design awards will remain true to id s proud DNA and will seek to reward design excellence, originality, sustainability and aesthetics. The entries to be submitted online will be independently evaluated by a jury of the highest calibre, with each member renowned for delivering excellence in the design arena.
