5 Reasons to Enter the WL Design 25

Considering entering our third annual Western Living Design 25? You should!

Here are 5 reasons why the WL Design 25 should be on your radar.

Reason #1: To attend our first finalist party!

For the first time this year, we’re going to be live announcing our finalists for the WL Design 25 in person: on October 22 get ready to party! Varsa Windows & Doors is hosting our first-ever Western Living Design 25 Finalists party, and everyone who enters this year’s WL Design 25 is invited. We’ll have great canapés and top-shelf wine and cocktails, along with party-ready activations like photo booths and more—and the first peek into who’s up for being named one of our 25 winners.

Reason #2: To celebrate every creative moment

While our Western Living Designers of the Year awards celebrate a body of work, the WL Design 25 is about all the moments that lead up to that: and those are worthy of a celebration, too. You’re able to enter up to five projects for one entry fee—that’s five chances to celebrate a fantastic kitchen, a beautiful bedroom, an incredible entryway, a gorgeous coffee table, an incredible chair and more. Dig into your portfolio and delight us with the little (or big!) moments that make up a space.

Reason #3: To get your work in front of the Western Living editors

We comb through every single applicant, and we’re as thrilled to see what some of the stalwarts of the design scene are creating as we are to discover new talent. We continue to revisit the applicants throughout the year, too: while there are just 25 winners named to the title of WL Design 25, many more will appear in the pages of Western Living magazine in the year to come.

Reason #4: To get your work in front of our readers

We hear it again and again from designers: Western Living’s readers want to hire and work with the designers they spot in our magazine. Winners and finalists are discovered by both homeowners and the designers who work with them: you’ll see your work in print, and even more importantly—you’ll be on the minds of readers the next time they want to hire a designer or purchase a new coffee table.

Reason #5: To celebrate your win with your own fans and followers

Just 25 winners a year can lay claim to the title of winning a WL Design 25—and we’ll provide you with the marketing materials to celebrate that huge achievement with both your current fans and the ones you’ll attract after you take home the title!
