The 2020 Sustainability Awards shortlist has been announced and this year, there have been quite a few very pleasant surprises.
Now that the shortlisted entries have been picked by the judging panel, it’s official: the 2020 Sustainability Awards are bigger and better this year than they have ever been.
That’s been made loud and clear as this year despite all the turmoil around us, the awards have had an amazing response – some 85 finalists that equated to an almost 40 percent increase in final entries.
To this can be added an all-time high number of original entries, with over 250 entries submitted by the official cut-off date in August.

Another first for this year is the launch of the first-ever Sustainability Summit 2020 – formerly known as the Sustainability Live panel event – which has now evolved to become Australia’s pinnacle of sustainable design, ideas, innovation and knowledge.
This year, the five daytime panels will be:
With 5 full CPD-accredited AIA points available from the Summit, over 30 fantastic speakers and the ability to enjoy all the panels on the day or watch them on-demand afterwards, this year, this popular panel event will focus more on solutions and outcomes rather than overarching ideas and concepts.
This is why the Sustainability Summit 2020 has rightly been made as the successor to Sustainability Live.
As mentioned, the night time Awards Gala too will be live-streamed to a national and international audience, meaning that for the first time ever, the Architecture + Design Sustainability Awards will become Australia’s sustainability design and build sector window to the whole world.
And with an entry price of just $99 for the day conference which includes welcome, keynote and 5 x panel discussions which will give you 5 x AIA formal CPD points, the value attendees will get from this event is quite simply, incalculable.
