IE 2026 Awards

The Interior Educators (IE) National Student Awards shine a spotlight on the achievements of undergraduate interior programmes across the UK and Ireland, showcasing exceptional work produced in 2026.

This year, we have refreshed the award titles and criteria to reflect shifts in interior design practice and education. However, at the heart of the awards remain our shared values of social cohesion and impact, sustainable and regenerative practice, and design innovation. As a new addition celebrating the IE conferences, we have introduced a student award responding to the theme of this academic year’s conference, Reimagined Interiors.

The shortlisted projects will be announced on 24 June, and the winners will be revealed at the awards event in Clerkenwell on 2 July. All entries will be exhibited at the MillerKnoll showroom for viewing before embarking on a year-long tour across various locations hosted by IE members.
