We’re less than two weeks away from the final deadline for entering our inaugural WL Design 25—and perhaps you’re thinking, should I enter? The answer, of course, is a resounding YES—and here are 5 reasons why.

1. Shine a spotlight your work

Our readers are loyal supporters of design in Western Canada—and winning a WL Design 25 means you’ll have their attention. Past winners of our WL Designers of the Year awards have seen their career trajectory change nearly overnight—and you can expect our WL Design 25 winners to see the same kind of love from our audience.

2. It’s easy to enter—and it’s free!

For our inaugural year, there are no entry fees associated with entering—just limits. That means you have to narrow down your entry to just 5 rooms or 5 products. Entering is easy—just head to our form. The toughest part will be deciding which projects to enter. 

3. We’re celebrating rooms of all shapes and sizes

Gorgeous storage room? Excellent walk-in closet? Fantastic staircase? We’d love to see them—along with incredible primary bedrooms, beautiful bathrooms, stunning kitchens… if it’s a room, it’s eligible.
