The winners of the AHEAD Middle East and Africa awards will be announced on Monday in a virtual ceremony broadcast on Dezeen.
The ceremony will take place from 2:00pm Dubai time, which is 12:00pm South Africa time and 10am UK time, and will be broadcast on Dezeen as well as on our YouTube channel.
The event will feature exclusive video content from the AHEAD Middle East and Africa (MEA) nominees, as well as from the judges and sponsors of the awards programme.

The ceremony is taking place digitally rather than at a real-world event due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Championing standout hospitality projects from around the world, the AHEAD awards focuses on four different regions: MEA, the Americas, Asia and Europe. The 2020 AHEAD MEA competition will review projects that have opened, reopened or launched in the region between January 2019 and February of this year.
In June, Dezeen broadcast a ceremony announcing the winners of the AHEAD Americas awards 2020 as part of Virtual Design Festival.
