With DEA, IDCS seeks to champion design excellence, as well as elevate and promote the quality and standards of interior design both locally and regionally.

For the 9th cycle of the Awards, IDCS brings back twenty-six (26) of the most popular award categories across the two competition tracks: Interior Design Excellence Awards (I-DEA) for professional interior designers and firms and Spatial Design Awards (SPADE) for students. These Awards are considered a seal of excellence and proof of outstanding achievements in the design field, acknowledged by a professional jury panel.

Last year for DEA 2021, IDCS received a total of 202 entries in two tracks: The Interior Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) for completed built projects by industry professionals; and the Spatial Design Awards (SPADE) for completed academic projects by design students. The IDEA section received 133 IDEA entries in 22 categories, while the SPADE section received 69 entries in the 9 student categories, recognising innovation and talent throughout Singapore, Asia Pacific and the World.
