The finalists for the 2023 ACFA Industry Awards Night have been announced.
The finalists of this year’s awards can be found across ACFA’s social media and website and are ready for everyone to peruse this year’s projects. Each year the quality of entries continues to raise the bar, demonstrating the calibre of craftsmanship and professionalism of our industry. The 2023 awards capture the projects created between 1st July 2021 and 30th June 2023
The judging process is by a panel of independent experts which consists of industry representatives who have a strong knowledge of the industry, operations, manufacturing, and trends. Bias towards any person or company is controlled through the ‘blind’ judging process – any reference to a company or person is removed from the material the judge reviews. This ensures every entry is evaluated on equal grounds.
The high calibre of entries made the judges work hard, with another record-breaking number of entries across 25 awards. Judges assess each entry on three main criteria – design, functionality, and innovation. When asked to provide a summary of the entries in 2023, the judges used the words ‘Diverse’ and ‘Inspiring’. The judges commented on the careful consideration on the way functionality had been incorporated into the entries and the level of detail our industry puts into the build of a project.
The calibre of finalists showcases the importance to recognise the quality of projects our industry produces. Dean Brakel, CEO of ACFA shares, “The ACFA Industry Awards exist to recognise outstanding achievements within the furniture, joinery, and cabinet-making industry. The awards showcase our industry’s hard work, dedication, and craftsmanship. Every single person who entered this year’s awards should be proud of what they are achieving.”
The industry is set to come together on Friday 15th of September as the winners of the 2023 ACFA Industry Awards are announced. The Industry Awards have become a significant event in the industry’s calendar, with an entertaining night of dinner, drinks, and laughter celebrating industry excellence is being held at Dockside Cockle Bay, Darling Harbour and is a great opportunity to promote your business and network with industry and enjoy a well-deserved fun night out.
