Our 17th annual awards party celebrates the very best in design—and we throw a great party too!
Oh what a night! Our 17th annual Western Living Designers of the Year Awards, presented by LaSalle College Vancouver was full of surprises. The first WL People’s Choice Awards had guests guessing who would win in each category—and ditto for our juried prizes, both of which were revealed live on stage on September 12, 2024, at Inspiration Furniture. There were emotional speeches, big hugs and lots of celebration all round—and we were there to capture every moment.
We’ve selected a handful of our favourites below, but you’ll find a link to even more at the bottom of the page!

Our party photographers, Vision Event Photography, were mixing with the crowd and capturing the winners both on and off the stage. We’ve uploaded the whole shebang to our Flickr account, so you catch the design stars in attendance mixing and mingle that night at Inspiration Furniture in Vancouver.
