Shaw Contract has released the Category Winners for its annual Design Awards, which recognise the creative vision of the architects and designers who inspire new ways of living, working, learning and healing.

This year’s program saw over 700 submissions from around the world. To select the Category Winners, Shaw worked with a panel of ten designers to evaluate and select their favourite designs.

Each submission category was evaluated by a group of judges and together, the teams selected 36 Category Winners. These Category Winning projects will be automatically entered into the Final Awards Program and People’s Choice Voting.
