The EMPORIA Awards are organized by Veredictas Internacional with the main support of the Col·legi de Dissenyadors d'Interiors i Decoradors de Catalunya and with the support of the Consejo General de Colegios Oficiales de Decoradores y Diseñadores de Interiores de España, the Polytechnic University of Madrid, ETSAB, Asociación de Carpas e Instalaciones Temporales, AFE, FEFIC and the Associated Spanish Event Agencies. And they have the support of the main specialized media such as Grupo Evento Plus, On Diseño, Tectonica, DiarioDesign and Experimenta.

The EMPORIA Awards jury is made up exclusively of representatives from universities, professional organisations, the technical press and industry specialists, with no official members. This is a key aspect for the EMPORIA jury to provide the utmost rigor and criteria, both essential for it to truly be a recognized standard of excellence in the ephemeral architecture market.

The EMPORIA awards recognize constructive and communication aspects such as the relationship between space and use, the relationship between decoration and brand values, the best technical solutions, creativity or respect for the environment.

Light is a fundamental element of life and a key aspect of any architectural project. Prizes will be awarded to projects that have successfully met the architectural lighting needs of an indoor or outdoor space, having created a positive synergy between architecture, interior design, urban planning, landscaping and lighting. The Lamp Awards value the creativity, innovation and sustainability of lighting projects, regardless of the manufacturer or the brand of lights used in the project.

The [d]arc awards is a unique concept utilising arc and darc magazines’ reputation as being the most widely read and respected lighting design publications in the world. In collaboration with creative consultants Light Collective, we have created a unique opportunity to get every practice involved in the awards process.
