Enter Western Living’s 2025 Designers of the Year Awards—DEADLINE EXTENDED
Meet the 2021 finalists for our annual design competition celebrating the best in Western Canada!
In a year when home has never been more important, these designers have made our spaces all the more beautiful to come home to—and we’re thrilled to be able to celebrate them in our 2021 Designers of the Year. Each year, our all-star judges narrow down hundreds of entries to just a few finalists in 9 categories.
Below, you’ll find that list of finalists. We’ll be announcing the winners on August 30, and celebrating them in our September issue as well as at our annual DOTY event in Vancouver. Keep connected with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram or subscribe to our newsletter to follow all our #wldoty updates and be among the first to know when the news is out.
Congratulations to everyone on our shortlist for our 2021 Designers of the Year competition, and thank you to everyone who threw their hat in the ring and made our judges’ job tougher than ever. You’re all a critical part of our amazing design community here in Western Canada—a community we’re proud to celebrate every year.
