The Drum Scottish Design Awards mark 20th anniversary – Glasgow on Thursday 25 May

A lot has changed in the design industry over the past two decades, but one thing has remained constant as The Drum Scottish Design Awards returns for 2017.

Now in its 20th year, the scheme rewards top design agencies and architecture firms for their contribution to the country’s design culture.
Entries are now open to all Scottish companies, and those outwith who have a Scottish client, across categories including Best Digital Design, Best Re-Use of a Listed Building, Best Packaging and Best Item of Self Promotion.

The awards will be judged by an esteemed panel of industry experts, with Paul Cardwell the executive creative director of Brand Union, Penny Lewis from the Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Bult Environment at Robert Gordon University (RGU) and Love’s senior creative Chris Jeffreys some of the names signed up so far.

“I’ll be looking for entries that makes me think,” said Jeffreys of the design categories. “Entries that makes me smile. Entries that are right for the brand. Entries that raise the bar. Entries with great storytelling. Entries that makes me wonder how they were crafted so well. Entries that make me say, ‘God, I wish I’d have thought of that.'”

From architecture firms RGU’s Lewis wants to see work that is “programmatically, formally and spatially rich,” being rewarded in light of the challenges faced by modern architects working in what she has called a “very difficult climate in which constraints on budget and time are often the main considerations in the commissioning of new buildings.”
