2011 INDesign Awards for Excellence in Architecture, Interior Design, Historic Preservation and Urban Planning OPEN TO PROJECTS COMPLETED IN 2009 AND 2010
The INDesign Awards were established in 2005 to recognize local designers for their recent work in the fields of architecture, interior design, landscape design and urban design. These designers have contributed to improving Acadiana’s built environment, affecting the social climate of our regional community.
Eligible projects must have been completed in the calendar years 2009 and 2010 in the parishes of Lafayette, Iberia, St. Martin, St. Landry, Acadia or Vermilion. A license is NOT required for residential projects. All Commercial entries must be submitted by an architect or interior designer licensed in the state of Louisiana. Winners will be announced in a cover feature in The Independent Weekly on Wednesday, April 20, 2011.
Awards will be presented at the annual Smart Growth Luncheon in May (date to be announced).
