In a major initiative to provide a distinct recognition to
the interior designers and architects of India, Zingy Homes is organizing an
online award event to facilitate the interior designers and architects who have
been working behind the scenes incessantly and creating beautiful spaces for us
to live and work in. The awards will be announced online by the end of October.
Zingy Awards is intended to provide the interior designers
and architects with a platform to help them gain visibility in the mainstream.
The awards will be adjudged for the following categories – Best Commercial
Architect, Best Commercial Interior Designer, Best Residential Architect, and
Best Residential Interior Designer. Both firms and individuals can apply before
October 5th 2013 to participate in the contest. The applicants may submit more
than one project and apply for multiple categories. The jury panel features
award winning professionals with years of experience in design and
architecture. They are Karsten Gori and Uffe Leth from Denmark, David Hotson
from US and Royston Wilson from Australia. Apart from a stellar jury that
comprises award winning architects, the unique feature of this online awards
program is the public voting module which means that each entry will also be
ranked by the number of votes it receives from the general public. The judging
parameters are design excellence and suitability to challenge, creativity and
originality, functionality, problem solving ability, sustainability, aesthetic
appeal and last but not the least-execution and finish quality.
Interior designers and architects have always influenced the
way a community lives. They have worked hard all their life to materialize the
dreams of various homeowners and businessmen. Yet, there has been neither
reward nor recognition for their earnest endeavors. The painter who painted
that masterpiece and the designer who weaved that fabulous wedding trousseau is
known to the general public, then why do these folks who design beautiful
spaces for us to live and breathe in remain faceless?
Zingy Awards are oriented towards encouragement in the field
of art and architecture. As the founders say, the idea is to have the general
public recognize their work just as easily as they recognize a Manish Malhotra
or a Hussain. With the public voting feature, Zingy Awards is being billed as a
platform that would bring lakhs of homeowners in direct touch with the
participating architects and designers. The community feels that these awards
will act as a catalyst and motivate more professionals to bring in new
innovation and out-of-the-box approach which in turn will bring them more
visibility and popularity. The project listings will remain on the site even
after the awards program is over.
To sum up, for an architect or interior designer,
participation in the Zingy Awards might help gain competitive edge over several
others in the row. With their names pinned on the wall of fame, they would be
easily approachable to customers across the country. Also, it would uncover
better options for various homeowners when it comes to finding the best
professionals for home remodeling and renovation.
