NOMINEES for the Scottish Design Awards 2024 can begin looking forward to the event as the final countdown begins for the awards presentation on June 27.
The judging panel has been busy rating hundreds of entries for the awards – sifting out the most exceptional submissions for a coveted gold or silver award.
Architecture chair Wendy Perring, founder of PAD Studio, said, “What impressed me most was the emphasis on biodiversity and a holistic consideration of placemaking… It was also encouraging to see increased awareness of and discussion around all aspects of sustainability: Great design cannot exist in isolation from environmental responsibility, and I’m thrilled to see so many embracing this ethos.
“The Scottish Design Awards were meticulously organised, and the event itself, a celebration of so much talent and ingenuity.”
Design chair Stuart Petri, vice president of 2D/UI design at Rockstar North, added, “Selecting a winner from amongst such a strong group of talented nominees was a challenging and inspiring experience. As a new judge this year, it was great to spend some time reviewing a variety of impressive projects, with all of them displaying a remarkably high calibre of creativity and skill.”
