Announcing the Finalists for the 2025 Western Living Design 25 Awards
Jonathan Adler returns to judge our Maker category, along with two Western Canadian design all-stars.
You’ve got 10 days left until the deadline—April 15, 11:59 p.m.—so it’s time to get your entries in. There are nine categories for the Designers of the Year awards, ranging from architecture and interiors to fashion, industrial and furniture design—and more!—which you can read all about on our Entry Page.
What makes our awards special? Judges look at a body of work, rather than one project or moment in time. Winning the title of Designer of the Year reflects a holistic celebration of all of the work you do: just ask our past winners.
Without further ado, we’re thrilled to announce the incredible judges for our Maker category for the 2024 WL Designers of the Year.
