Entries are now open for the 38th Dulux Colour Awards, encouraging architects, interior designers, specifiers and students to submit interior and exterior, residential, commercial and public projects that demonstrate an innovative use of Dulux colour.
The categories for this year’s awards include commercial interior – workplace and retail, commercial interior – public and hospitality, commercial and multi-residential exterior, residential interior, single residential exterior, temporary or installation design, and student – for architecture and interior design students who are currently undertaking or have recently completed a course.
The judging panel comprises founder of Carter Williamson, Shaun Carter; co-founder of Wowowa Architecture, Monique Woodward; director of Pac Studio, Sarosh Mulla; founder of Studio Prineas, Eva-Marie Prineas; and co-founder and director of Technē Architecture and Interior Design, Nick Travers.
Dulux colour and communications manager, Andrea Lucena-Orr said the annual awards provide an opportunity to inspire industry-wide colour ambition in built environments and recognise emerging and established design talent.
“The Dulux Colour Awards celebrates the creativity of design practitioners who use colour to transform spaces. In 2024, we’re excited to further this celebration of colour with the introduction of the new Temporary or Installation Design category, which aims to showcase the use of paint finishes in temporary, installation, exhibition and brand promotional experiences,” Lucena-Orr said.
“The level of sophistication and constraint exercised by architects and designers never fails to impress our panel, and we look forward to seeing how the judges appraise this year’s entrants.”
The winner of each major category will be awarded $1,000 in prize money, while the student category winner will receive $500. Projects must have been completed between 1 September 2022 and 31 December 2023 to be eligible. Entries close on Friday 23 February 2024 with winners announced at the 28th Dulux Colour Awards on Wednesday 29 May 2024.
