Now in its 14th year, the Think Brick Awards celebrates the innovative and contemporary use of clay bricks, concrete masonry and roof tiles in Australian architecture. With a simple online entry process that only takes around 10 minutes, and 5 product categories spanning commercial & residential brick, masonry, landscape & roof tile projects, the Think Brick Awards are unlike any other.

Think Brick Australia CEO, Elizabeth McIntyre, said, “Each year I am continually surprised by the innovative & sophisticated ways architects and builders THINK brick, block, paver & roof tiles. We are really looking forward to showcasing the different applications that have been made this year in the craftsmanship of built designs. The New Entrant category is also an added drawcard to architects that have not entered the Awards before looking to have their worked judged by a panel of Internationally renowned architects, whilst also giving them the opportunity to win a $10k prize.”

“The Think Brick Awards celebrates the innovation of architects who champion versatility and creativity in their design of residential, commercial and landscape projects.”
