The pinnacle of industry recognition

202507-TheOutlook-Pre-102

We fundamentally believe that true recognition comes from the whole community, so why shouldn't the industry assess your work?

The Outlook Awards celebrate the best in design and technology across product, design, and leadership. Entries are peer-judged by fellow practitioners for a democratic, community-driven signal of excellence. 

We keep it simple and accessible with a single flat fee, no winner packages, a single clear winner per category, and fully transparent criteria and timelines. 

Unrivaled juror diversity

202406-DesignOutlook24-058

We're bringing together the most diverse mix of practitioners in the region, spanning design, product, technology, and leadership. Our peer-judged model ensures work is evaluated by people who actually do the work, not an elite and distant perspective. 

We prioritise representation across disciplines, experience levels, and backgrounds to reflect the full spectrum of today’s creative and technological landscape. The result is fairer, richer, and more relevant recognition that truly reflects the community it serves.

A gala to remember

The Outlook Awards gala will be a celebration of creativity, innovation, and community unlike any other. Set against a backdrop of design, technology, and culture, it brings together the brightest minds from across the region to recognise work that truly moves our industry forward. 

Expect an evening of meaningful connection, bold ideas, and genuine celebration; where teams, leaders, and partners come together not just to collect trophies, but to honour the impact of their work and the people behind it.
