Fifty-seven projects and products have been shortlisted for the 2013 BPN Sustainability Awards, with a high quality of entries demonstrating innovative and sustainable initiatives across all nine categories.
The jury, comprising Richard Francis-Jones (design director of fjmt), Dick Clarke (Envirotecture) and Malay Dave (self-sustainable housing researcher), was involved in the shortlisting process, with returning judge Clarke stating that the process was exceptionally difficult this year, considering the competitiveness of all submissions.
BPN magazine will announce the winners at a gala dinner and ceremony on Thursday 21 November at Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf Sydney. Tickets are on sale, and can be purchased HERE or via email at [email protected].
The finalists will be featured in the October issue of BPN, and a full report on each project or product’s key initiatives can be found on bpn.com.au. Click HERE for more information.
