DOTY Awards 2023 Nominees Announced!

March 15, 2024

Exclusive and glamorous, the 14th annual ceremony will be celebrated at KL Hilton on the 8th of April 2024.  

DOTY AWARDS honours the exceptional works by the absolute finest world-class designers in this competitive industry – as well as the brilliance of the designers themselves. Under the theme entitled, ‘Quest for Victory,’ the highly anticipated event will be held on the 8th of April 2024 at KL Hilton, courtesy of our Strategic Alliance Partners — Atlas Plan as the Platinum Partner, De Poolman Shop as the Gold Partner, Super Ceramic as the Silver Partner and BEP Akitek as the Bronze Partner.

 

We’re thrilled to announce the nominees, with all entries independently judged by a diverse panel of renowned judges comprising Ar Duangrit Bunnag, Mai Chongchaiyo, Shanaz A Muztaza, Alex Cheah and Alan Koh. With 11 categories in tow, DOTY 2023’s special awards include Asia’s Most Influential Designer Award (AMIDA) which will be awarded to three international elites who have conceived stellar innovations, advocated for sustainability and played an influential role in this demanding industry: Steve Leung of Steve Leung Design Group Limited, Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston and Joyce Wang of Joyce Wang Studio. 

 

This year’s DOTY Awards will also witness the birth of the Deca-Laurel Award (DLA), bestowed upon design firms or studios that have acquired ten or more years of experience in the industry, acknowledging their steadfast commitment, sustained excellence and significant impact on the design scene. In order to attain it, firms must be established for over a decade, maintain a strong financial standing, show commitment to sustainability, make noteworthy design contributions to different types of projects and receive awards for their design work over the last five years.

It also welcomes the return of both the Building Transformation Recognition Award (BTRA) and Women Empowering Designer Award (WEDA). While the former honours the initiatives taken in building restoration and transformation of an existing building as an effort towards sustainability, the latter champions female designers’ dedication to excellence and leadership in innovation within the traditionally male-dominated design industry. 

 

The Asia’s Most Prestigious Design Award (AMPDA) also makes an appearance, as expected, acknowledging the designers’ accomplishments in creating imaginative, captivating and functional designs that add value to a space while best highlighting the materials and technology used to complete them.

Winners will be announced on 8th April 2024, so stay tuned to know more! 

DOTY AWARDS 2023 is an exclusive ACG Media event, brought to you by Designer Concept and Commercial Concept. It is supported by our brand partners, QCtv, Nippon Paint and BlueScope Malaysia.
