FX Awards 2018 Winners

The Judging system

The FX International Interior Design Awards is open to architects, designers, clients, and suppliers for interior design projects or products completed or launched between 20 July 2016 and 20 July 2018. The judges are an independent panel of experts who are recruited for a fresh new panel each year, and comprise engineers, clients, architects and designers from many different sectors to reflect our audience tonight.

They were invited on to the 2018 panel because of their experience, opinions, and commitment to design. Judges, and their companies, are not permitted to enter any categories.

Each category us judged by a different panel of judges, so if you haven’t won in one category you could win in another. Because of the large number of entries, and to preserve the integrity of the FX Awards, we use a transparent judging system in which each judge ranks their top six entries in each category before they know who their co-judges are. With up to 10 judges for each of the hotly contested categories, these placings are then scored and added together to confirm the shortlist, and the ultimate winner.

Many thanks to all our judges, who gave up so much of their valuable time and brought their expertise and enthusiasm to the process. Sincere thanks also to Cherrill Scheer, who has acted in an advisory capacity as unofficial chair of the judges.
