Join us Thursday, September 12, to celebrate the winners—and our design community.
The judges have submitted their scorecards. The votes are in for our inaugural People’s Choice awards. There’s nothing left to do but plan a party. (And make a magazine but… priorities.)
We’re thrilled to invite you to our annual celebration of Western Canada’s incredible design community: the WL Designers of the Year Awards, presented by LaSalle College.
Grab your tickets now for the September 12 event, and join us in raising a glass to all of the entrants and nominees in the spacious Inspiration Furniture showroom in Vancouver. We’ll be mixing and mingling with the best of the west (with drinks and canapés aplenty, of course) before revealing this year’s deserving winners.
For the first time in the awards’ history, we’ll be announcing all of our winners live on stage—both the champions of the judged categories and those taking home the coveted People’s Choice prizes.
And this year, we’re also honouring two Icons: inspiring working designers who have made an indelible impact on the West’s design scene.
In other words: it’s going to be a night to remember, mark your calendars for the design event of the season, and grab those tickets ($85 each). We’ll see you Thursday, September 12, 2024, at Inspiration for the big reveal—and a toast to all of the impressive work that wows us year round.
The editorial team at Western Living loves nothing more than a perfectly designed space, place or thing: and we’re here to tell you about it. Email us your pitches at [email protected].
