The International Yacht and Aviation Awards

Traditionally held annually in May, the International Yacht and Aviation Awards reward the best design work from across the globe in both the yachting and aviation industries.

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 shipyards to showcase their design schemes, product launches, and innovative ideas. 

Launched in 2010, there are multiple awards presented throughout the award ceremony including; Motor Yacht Over 40 Metres, Master Cabin Award, Refit of the Year and perhaps the most prestigious of them all, the award for The design et al Global Project of the Year.

The awards are not judged by a panel, instead, the decision-making process is presented online and voting is open to industry professionals and readers, clients, and customers of the magazines.
