The sheer volume of our projects that have been shortlisted demonstrates our commitment to excellence, and the fact that our entries scale ten different categories shows the diversity of the projects we work on.
We can’t wait for the awards night in November and of course, we wish everyone that’s been shortlisted the best of luck!”
