In their 11th edition, the India Kitchen Congress Awards have opened for nominations. These are the most coveted recognition within the modular kitchen and cabinetry industry.
The scope of the India Kitchen Congress Awards 2025 has widened significantly, with 18 awards in 6 categories. Winners will be announced at India Kitchen Congress in Bengaluru.
This year’s new award categories relate to Marketing Communication, Green Manufacturing, & Tech Enablement, while earlier categories of Retail Design, Skilling, & Kitchen Design continue. These awards celebrate the best works from 2024.
In the new format, a single project can compete in several categories, and nominees can submit multiple entries. Entries have to be submitted online. The Awards encourage collaborating teams to participate, so that the honours are shared.
There will be two rounds of online judging based on well-defined and unique criteria for each category. The Jury comprises accomplished professionals from cross-functional domains, such as business management, interior design, marketing & communication, visual merchandising, F&B service, skilling, and manufacturing. The submissions will have to be impeccable, as the judges will assess the quality of visuals, clarity of vision, and detailing in documentation.
A nominal fee of Rs 4,130 per entry has been applied (IIID members exempted), to ensure that only serious and competent participants enter the fray. The last date for submitting nominations for India Kitchen Congress Awards is 15 January 2025.
