Entries open for Victorian Premier’s Design Awards

Entries are now open for the Victorian Premier's Design Awards, the annual program celebrating home-grown design in all its forms.

Now in their 27th year, the awards are open to designers, architects, design studios and businesses across eight categories: architectural design; communications design; design strategy; digital design; fashion design; product design; service design; and student design, which is open to tertiary design students.

Best-in-Category winners go in the running for the Victorian Premier's Design of the Year.

The Design of the Year winner in 2022 was the Victorian Pride Centre, designed by Brearley Architects and Urbanists (BAU), Grant Amon Architects (GAA), WSP and Peter Felicetti. The project also won the architectural design category, while the Grampians Peak Trail (Gariwerd) Stage Two - by McGregor Coxall with Noxon Giffen, Parks Victoria, OPS Engineers, Barengi Gadjin Land Council, Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation and Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation - was highly commended.

In 2021, Kerstin Thompson Architects' Town Hall Broadmeadows received best in category for architectural design.

All entries will be judged by a jury of national and international design and business experts, with the winners to be announced in March 2024.

Entries close on 21 July 2023. Entry is free.
