The first D2 Awards are already shaping up to be something special.
We've been genuinely excited by the quality, creativity, and diversity of the work that's already found its way to us, but we know our community well enough to suspect that some of the best projects are still sitting quietly on hard drives around the world.

Don't let yours be one of them.
If you've been thinking, "Maybe I should enter...", take this as your sign. There's less than a week left to submit your work, and we'd love to see what you've been creating.

Our speaker's introduction:

I’m a Tunisian 3D artist and interior designer based in London, currently working at Sybarite Architects as a 3D Artist. My passion lies in creating atmospheric, emotionally rich visuals where space, light, detail, and storytelling come together to craft meaningful experiences. My journey in architectural visualization has been shaped by both creativity and community. In 2020, I won the public vote in the Chaos Student Rendering Challenge. I was also featured in the third edition of 3Disciple magazine, where I shared my creative journey and perspective on the industry. More recently, I had the honour of speaking at 3D London, Chaos Meetup London, and CGBG in Bulgaria, where I shared my thoughts on creativity, storytelling, and the future of architectural visualization. I also co-hosted a panel discussion at Uplift London, bringing together creatives to explore topics around design, innovation, and community. In 2026, I had the honour of being a jury member for the CGconnect 3D . Alongside these events, I host a monthly live community show on CG Connect, Untold Stories with Ines, where I explore the human side of creativity through conversations with artists and industry professionals, uncovering the stories behind their work. Beyond visualization, I'm deeply passionate about photography and enjoy capturing the world around me from architecture and art to the quiet moments of everyday life that inspire creativity.
