Alongside the World Architecture Festival sits its sister
festival; INSIDE – World Festival of Interiors. INSIDE is
a feast of creativity, inspiration and knowledge for the
interiors industry and is now open for awards entries.

their proposals live, in front of festival delegates and
the judging panels. Organisers are expecting more than

In addition to 33 category winners, international judging

best interior project.
This year the judging panel will consist of more than 145
judges representing 48+ countries and will be joined
by some of the world leading experts including; Lesley
Lokko, Viviana Muscettola, Sanjay Puri, Alireza Taghaboni,
