KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 -- Organised by Nippon Paint, the Asia Young Designer Awards (AYDA), will see its 13th year of empowering young, budding designers to be agents of change by creating a positive impact, through design, within their communities.
Despite the outbreak of Covid-19 and with safety measures in mind, Nippon Paint has made the call to present this year’s awards via a virtual ceremony attended by international judges and esteemed finalists for the grand title of categories in AYDA.
According to a statement, the event will see finalists present their award-winning work to an esteemed panel of judges in the Interior Design Category and Architectural Category on July 8 and 9, respectively.
Held annually, student participants go through a rigorous selection process to proudly represent their countries for the grand title of Asia Young Designer of the Year 2019/20 at an international level.
Last year saw architect Tanay Bothara from India take his place at the gold spot in the Architectural Category with his award-winning project that saw him spend six weeks attending the Design Discovery Program at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
In 2018, Nippon Paint announced the establishment of the Gennosuke Obata Fellowship Fund at the Harvard GSD. This partnership brings an additional programme that rewards the Regional Winners of AYDA, a six-week all-expense paid experience at the prestigious school.
