  Call for Architecture & Interior Design entries!  
     
  Entries are open for The Loerie Awards Architecture & Interior Design category.  This category encompasses all retail, corporate, restaurant, museum, gallery and show stand entries which contribute to brand equity. 

The entry deadline has now been extended to 14 June – all new Architectural and Interior Design work that has been completed between 1 June 2009 – 14 June 2010 is eligible for entry, including new additions to an existing structure or brand, e.g. a new store, restaurant, or upgrade. Full entry information is available on the Loeries website
, including categories, entry guidelines and preparations instructions. 


The Architecture & Interior Design category strengthens year on year to showcase some of the most innovative work in our region.  In 2009, the elusive Loerie Grand Prix was awarded for the Foxp2 offices.  In 2008, a Grand Prix was received by Trigger for the Nike Be True pop-up store and a Gold was awarded to GAPP Architects & Urban Designers for Freedom Park. In 2007, a Gold was also received by GAPP Architects and Urban Designers in association with MMA Architects for Maropeng Visitor's Attraction, Cradle of Humankind.  Silver and Bronze Loeries have also been scooped over the years. 

A special extension until 13 July has also been announced for World Cup related entries.  Work should be in one way or another related to the hosting of the World Cup in South Africa this year, and is not limited to official World Cup communication.  Eligible entries can be launched up to 13 July and all entries must be received no later than this date.  Although this extension has been granted, all entries received after 31 May will be liable for the 5% late fee. 

The awards ceremony will take place during the Festival Weekend in Cape Town from 1 -3 October 2010.  Tickets and accommodation bookings are now open, visit the Loeries website for more details.
