Trends International Design Awards

Trends International Design Awards

The Trends International Design Awards (TIDA) recognise the best in international design from around the world. The main awards categories include the TIDA International Home of the Year, TIDA International Kitchen of the Year and TIDA International Bathroom of the Year. The programme runs throughout the year culminating in 3 events to recognise the winners and their designs. These include the highly commended entries, runners-up in separate subcategories along with the overall winner for each country.


Our Brief

The TIDA awards team required assistance with the event management and audio-visual display of the content of the awards on the night.  This also included providing MC services to help present the various activities throughout the event.  Video production along with photography before and during the ceremony was provided and used post the event by Trends and the award recipients.


Our Results

The services provided for the awards span the last 10 years, occurring 3 times a year in various countries. Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the Trends International Awards event which usually was held in high-end luxury spaces such as the Lamborgini, Ferrari, Porsche and Mercedes showrooms became a virtual one.  This comprised several elements which resulted in a 25-30 minute long video which was released at a precise time and date for people to see. The presentation comprised an opening sequence, recorded presentation pieces, virtual tours/slideshows with voice-over and music tracks for each category winner, along with acceptance speeches from the respective winners.

WINNERS SHOWCASE - INDIVIDUAL SEGMENTS

Each Winner Segment was produced independently from the main content in order for the award recipients to use in their own communication channels increasing the reach of the TIDA content.

CPLUSC ARCHITECTURAL WORKSHOP 2022 TIDA AUSTRALIA RENOVATION

An 1884 dual-frontage Victorian terrace house was the starting point for this dramatic transformation into a home with ample light-filled space for family members to entertain, and enjoy time together or apart.

Achieving this required innovative thinking, given that the light-industrial zoned site was narrow and unusually long, and had warehouse buildings on either side.

STACEY FARRELL ARCHITECT 2022 TIDA ARCHITECT NEW HOME

Located on New Zealand's rugged South Coast, the windswept site for this small holiday house faces North and gently descends to the dunes.

The low, grounded home is bedded into the landscape, hunkering down from the harsh coastal weather, while materials and colours are deliberately pared back so as not to compete with the natural environment.

BRENDON MONK 2022 TIDA NEW ZEALAND RENOVATION WINNER

After 12 years of living in this house on a Marlborough vineyard, the owners called on the home’s original architect to provide extra living and entertaining spaces, plus a large covered outdoor living area.

At the same time, they wanted to extend the landscaping design, including the regeneration of flora around the water edge.

HIGHLY COMMENDED AWARDS SLIDESHOW

At each of the award events and online presentations, a section of the night celebrates the entries that did not win a main award but that the judges felt illustrated great design in their own right and deserved to be mentioned amongst the over all programme.

TIDA WINNERS VIDEO INTERVIEW GALLLERY

A series of 'pieces to camera' segments were captured allowing the viewer to hear from the Chairman of the judging panel and the respective winners. In the segments fouud in the main presentation and examples above, the winners were able to talk through the design in their own words, giving the viewer an inside and personal expression of how the design came to be.

PAUL TAYLOR
Chairman of the Judging Panel - Trends International Design Awards

“Andrew’s work on events and presentations has made a major contribution to the successful development of our Trends International Design Awards (TIDA).

Over the first few years, this required a hands-on involvement in the announcement of the results at physical events, held in a variety of venues. Andrew organised the set-up of the venue and all audio-visual equipment, so that these events ran smoothly, both for the Trends team and for the attending audience.

He was also responsible for producing the presentation media, including slideshows, for which he did the voiceovers where required. Plus he put his range of skills to good use to MC the events in a relaxed but professional manner.

In recent years, our results announcements have moved to online presentations and we’ve used Andrew to create the video segments to be posted on YouTube and then distributed into our digital channels. The presentations are a sequence of static slides and slideshows for which Andrew again did the voiceovers and the inclusion of some video files. The production of the presentation files takes place under some pressure of time, between the completion of judging and the date of the announcement, and Andrew has always delivered to the required deadlines.

Andrew’s involvement extends beyond the services of a production house – he plays an active part in suggesting creative developments and strategies for our awards programme.

He’s highly recommended for his creative and strategic contributions as well as his production capabilities.”
