KOTA KINABALU: Sabah interior designers are urged to join the Malaysian Interior Design Awards (Mida) 2010.Council members cum past president of Malaysian Institute of Interior Designers (IPDM) Chris Yap said MIDA was divided into design excellence and industry excellence categories.

The design excellence award recognises outstanding designer work including public and institutional, retail, hotel, entertainment, and offices.

The industry excellence award is open to product manufacturers, suppliers and service providers of interior designs that have made significant contributions to the interior design industry.

“Mida was recognised as the premier interior design award in Malaysia.”

Yap added that Mida started in 1998 but was not until last year that the council decided to combine both interior design and industry excellence following the merger of IPDM and the Malaysian Society of Interior Designers.

President of IPDM Mohd Suhaimi Fadzir, who launched MIDA here on Wednesday, said this year’s launch was purposely held in Sabah to promote awareness among local designers.

“We had 170 entries last year and we expect around the same number this year,” he said.

Also present was IPDM vice-president Monie Mohariff.

Application forms can be obtained from the interior design exhibition at City Mall till April 4.

Forms can also be obtained from SK Tang Sdn Bhd at Shop No. 1, 1st Floor, Taman Mesra, 3.5km, Jalan Penampang, 88100 Kota Kinabalu.
