This kind of enormous response is something we have never encountered before. Our systems were overloaded and the Inbox was swamped with nominations from both new and old friends as well as those who are just starting out in the industry. It took us many hours and days to compile the nominations, and no matter how hard we tried, the shortlist kept growing because there are some fantastic projects, firms, and people who have been nominated, and the region needs to know about them.

Thank you to everyone who nominated; please reserve your table for the gala event as we have limited seating.

Design Middle East presents the shortlist for Design Middle East Awards 2023:
