Its Awards Season!: The Validation of Awards in Creative Fields
About this episode
Ever wondered if the glittering world of architectural awards is more than just a trophy on the shelf? Join us as we unpack the tangible benefits of prestigious accolades like the NZIA awards for architects and their projects. From the thrill of the awards night to the strategic marketing advantages of award submissions, we delve into the real-world implications of being recognised by peers.
As past award-winners, and newly shortlisted ones, we dissect the financial commitment and long-term gains of entering the competitive architectural arena. As we reminisce over the shortlisted projects and the vibrant architectural scene in New Zealand, we venture beyond the accolade itself, discussing the potential for awards to elevate public appreciation of architecture. We even toss around the idea of a People's Choice Award, musing over how social media could democratise the recognition process. Biggest Cantilever anyone?
Tune in for a candid blend of industry insights, hearty laughs, and a passionate exchange of ideas on the awards scene in architecture and design.
