Artichoke Magazine Prize for Design Communication

ARTICHOKE® magazine promotes interior architecture and design in all its vitality and variety. ARTICHOKE® is the national magazine of the Design Institute of Australia and is also endorsed by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.

In 2006, Architecture Media, publisher of ARTICHOKE®, was approached by two institutions seeking a prize for a final year student. From 2007, Architecture Media extended the prize to final year students of interior design/interior architecture degree courses, where the Institution holds membership of the Interior Design/Interior Architecture Educators Association.

The prize ARTICHOKE® magazine prize for design communication is awarded to a final year student for excellence in the visual and written presentation of an interior design proposition.

A single award recipient is selected by each institution’s head of Interior Design / Interior Architecture. Award winners receive a certificate from their institution plus a two-year subscription to Artichoke
