On September 6th, at C.space Design Complex, the Preliminary Round of the An Cuong Interior Design Award 2023 - Season 3 took place. During this phase, the Jury also identified promising candidates to advance to the Semi-finals of this year's competition.

Over the course of nearly 5 months since the competition was announced on April 15th, the official website www.ida.ancuong.com received impressive statistics:

• Total viewers: 26,369
• Interactions on the page: 93,044

In addition to these numbers, the hotline received hundreds of inquiries from participants across the country, including students, freelancers, and young designers.

The theme of this year's competition, "Redefining Home," while not entirely new, still challenges us to reconsider the definition of our own homes. What is a home? It's where all storms stay outside the door, where life begins, and love never ends. It's where you nurture dreams and aspirations. In this year's competition, we join together to explore new definitions of home.

Over nearly 5 months, the An Cuong Interior Design Award 2023 - Season 3 received incredibly creative and exciting ideas that redefined the concept of "Home" in entirely new ways. With nearly 300 participants submitting individual and group entries, it's evident that there is significant interest in this year's competition.

The Preliminary Round was attended by Mr. Nguỵ Thanh Vĩ - Head of the Organizing Committee, along with the Jury members, including Mr. Lê Long Vĩnh, Mr. Nguyễn Hữu Vinh, Mr. Hoàng Lê Duy, and Ms. Đặng Nguyễn Thị Hồng Tuyết. After a challenging day of careful consideration and selection, the Jury had highly positive evaluations for this year's competition. Some projects showed innovative and practical potential for future real-world applications.

According to the competition regulations, 20 entries will advance to the Semi-finals. However, due to the dedication and meticulous work of the participants, the Jury faced difficulties in determining the scores this year. With only a very small difference in scores between entries, 21 projects were chosen to advance to the Semi-finals of this year's competition.

We are confident that with the announcement of these 21 project titles, participants will recognize their own entries. We will be contacting you via email and phone to provide instructions for submitting your projects for the Semi-finals. Congratulations once again to all of you!
