Established in 1984, Mondiale Publishing Ltd publishes international business-to-business magazines and websites that range across the hospitality, entertainment technology and architectural markets.

Their market-leading titles include mondo*dr, mondo*arc, darc, sleeper supper and Total Production International.

“We host and manage some of the most prestigious awards in Europe and Asia so when it comes to our awards system, only the best will do.”

Mondiale runs multiple awards program, including the the [d]arc awards, a unique concept utilising arc and darc magazines’ reputation as being the most widely read and respected lighting design publications in the world.

“Anyone can enter (lighting designers, architects, interior designers or manufacturers), but here’s the exciting bit – once the shortlist has been chosen by an international jury of lighting designers – we invite independent lighting designers, architects, interior designers and product designers to vote on their favourite projects and products.

 

It’s the only truly peer-to-peer lighting design awards in the world.”

In their search to replace their locally run award system, they identified four potential companies to speak with. One was the local incumbent, two were in the US and then Award Force in Australia.

“Award Force was like a breath of fresh air with a website that was clean and very attractive.”

They quickly arranged a demo, that proved how the system could match their needs.

“It looked great and we were very keen and made the decision to go with Award Force over all the others. It was the best decision ever. Award Force’s customer service was great and continues to be so. Their system is so intuitive and the way they set it up through understanding what we really wanted was brilliant.”
