The awards were judged by a panel of influential journalists and professionals drawn from across the industry. Chair of the judges Sarah Richardson commented: “Determined, passionate and informative: these are just three of the plaudits that cropped up time and again in the judging sessions for this year’s IBP Awards. Whether they were looking at hard-hitting investigations, thought-provoking features or the way that the built environment’s leading brands have evolved over the past year, our judges were deeply impressed with the best-in-class journalism that this year’s winning entries, and those on the shortlists, represent.”
Chair of IBP, Harriett Hindmarsh said: “Our annual IBP journalism awards are the heart of who we are, and who we strive to be as an organisation, as we move forward with our new vision to ‘Establish, champion and develop skill at the highest level in built environment journalism and communications.’
It is always great to see old and new friends at the awards every year. Thank you to our fantastic awards presenter David Bond, deputy Political Editor of the Evening Standard. Huge congratulations to all our deserving winners: Gráinne Cuffe, Will Ing, Joshua Stein, Rob Horgan, Jack Simpson and Peter Apps, and to Oliver Shah for his Outstanding Contribution award. And of course, congratulations to Dezeen for winning Editorial Brand of the Year. This has been a difficult year for Dezeen, losing founder and IBP friend Marcus Fairs, but the team continues to bring his concept to their readers in such an exciting way.”
