Once again our top award has gone north to Newcastle,
the ‘birthplace’ of AILDM.
Richard Kelly and Gary Edwards of Urban Exotic have walked away with several awards including the Allan Correy Award of Design Excellence. This is the second time in the four years of the AILDM awards that Newcastle designers have claimed the honour (Darren Shearer 2006).
Is there something in the water? Coal dust perhaps or fine wines from the Hunter Valley. Perhaps it’s just dedication and a commitment to excellence.
Congratulations to all the winners and finalists in this year’s awards and thankyou to our judges Stuart Pittendrigh and Jennifer Stackhouse.

My first AILDM Awards Dinner – it was thoroughly enjoyable, inspirational and shows what great work is being done by members. As a student and just starting out i was amazed and encouraged by the standard of the entries and particularly all the winners. Great job in getting the details up so soon!
