About the International Yacht and Aviation Awards

A collaborative award ceremony created by interior design magazine design et al and the bi-focus yacht and aviation design publication Luxe et al, the International Yacht and Aviation Awards ceremony was set up as a platform for designers, architects, and superyacht builders to showcase their design schemes, product launches, and innovative ideas.

Welcoming all nominations, each award has 10 shortlisted entries before the decision-making process is presented online, and voting is opened to industry professionals and the magazines' readers, clients, and customers.
