Your Future Home promotes a 'green' theme with its inaugural awards
Since the beginning, Your Future Home, an online educational initiative of Australian Living, has worked on informing the public of ways to design, build and think in a sustainable way. Now, for the first time, Your Future Home is hosting a competition in a bid to “shine the spotlight on professional and emerging interior designers, consultants and stylists who have completed a project with a ‘green’ theme”.
According to Your Future Home consultants, “a ‘green’ home is a home that is highly energy and water efficient, thermally comfortable, and is constructed with sustainable materials”. This underlying belief will be the core of judging for the Your Future Home Green Interior Awards. Daphna Tal, a Sustainable Interior Design Consultant from Australian Living says that these awards are “different because they are 100% dedicated to green and sustainable outcomes and uses predominately social media as its marketing outlet and voting platform”.
Entries are open until November 16 and, according to the Marketing Manager for Australian Living, Anthony Lieberman, it is “easy for people to enter”, all you need to do is answer a few questions that are listed on the Your Future Home website, and email in your submission to the address provided. Entry questions include ‘Why did you choose a ‘green’ theme?’ and a list stating the products you have included in your project is required and why each of them is ‘green’. Once entries close, three judges have been hand-picked for their opinions and expertise in the field of sustainability and design, and will choose the top 10 ‘green’ projects. Jen Bishop, blogger of Interiors Addict will be a judge, along with Eminé Mehmet, a sustainability thought leader, and Daphna Tal.
Once the top 10 have been chosen, the voting will be handed over to the public, who through social media will be able to vote for their favourite. By handing the voting over to the public, voting participants will be able to see the various ways sustainability and a ‘green’ theme can be stylishly incorporated into a modern home. A selection of innovative and contemporary ‘green’ designs have been chosen as prizes for the winners (a list of the prizes is available on the website).
Your Future Home Green Interior Awards aims to reflect the way the design world is evolving in its awareness about the environment and the ways we can incorporate and embrace sustainability in our lifestyle. Your Future Home intends to show the community that a “truly sustainable home can assist your lifestyle by creating an aesthetically pleasing space that is also healthy and saves you money due to low operating costs through energy, water and food”.
