🧑⚖️ About the Jury
The jury is composed exclusively of leading practitioners in the Saudi interior design market.
To ensure full independence, no academic figures are part of the evaluation panel.
🧩 The ArchiNet Role
ArchiNet plays a central role in the design and execution of the INDEX Future Stars Competition. We lead the outreach to universities and design departments across Saudi Arabia, encouraging academic institutions to nominate their top students and support them throughout the process — while also showcasing the strength of their interior design programs.
Beyond outreach, ArchiNet is responsible for:
Managing all media and communications
Overseeing operations and timelines
Selecting and coordinating the professional jury panel
Receiving and reviewing student entries
Managing the online evaluation process
Organizing the final awards ceremony
And importantly, securing internship opportunities for the winners by partnering with top design firms across the Kingdom
This initiative reflects our core mission at ArchiNet: to bridge the gap between education and professional practice, and to provide meaningful platforms that help emerging designers connect, grow, and succeed in the real world.
