Our esteemed jury has chosen 70 finalists for the AZ Awards 2017, selected from the astounding 813 entries from 41 countries.

In March, our five jurors – planner and landscape ecologist Nina-Marie Lister of Plandform, interior designer Alessandro Munge of Studio Munge, industrial designer Theo Richardson of Rich Brilliant Willing, architect Nader Tehrani of NADAAA, and designer Michael Vanderbyl of Vanderbyl Design – met, debated and narrowed down the spectacular number of international entries to 70 finalists. We are thrilled to present those that won over our discerning jury.
The winners from the list of finalists will be announced at our gala event, which will be held at Toronto’s Evergreen Brick Works on June 23rd. All of the winners and finalists will be featured in our July / August issue, available on newsstands at the end of June.
Now it’s your turn to get involved! On April 6th we will be turning to you to vote for your favourite designs and projects during the popular People’s Choice.
