In case you missed it: we’ve just announced the finalists for this year’s Western Living Designers of the Year awards. It’s an incredibly talented group of designers who are creating some of the strongest design work in the country—and the world—and we can’t wait to celebrate them all at our Western Living Designers of the Year party on September 11, 2025. Our top-tier judges (stay tuned for an announcement this week on this incredible crew) currently have their work in their hands—and the winners will be announced in our September 2025 issue.

And now here’s where you come in.

The Western Living People’s Choice Awards, presented by Thermador, is decided by you, the reader. One project from each of the finalists in our Western Living Designers of the Year awards is eligible for voting in their respective categories—and voting is now open.

Head to our voting page below to review one outstanding project from each of this year’s contenders, and have your say.

How Does It Work?

Categories include architecture, interiors, industrial design, furniture design, fashion design, and maker/one-of-a-kind, as well as awards for emerging residential designers (the Arthur Erickson Memorial Award) and emerging interior designers (the Robert Ledingham Memorial Award).

Our editors have selected one project from each of our finalists, and those projects are now up this award in their category.

You’ll have one vote per category—so make it count!

Winners will be revealed on stage at the big live awards party on September 11, 2025. Purchase your tickets now (this party WILL sell out!)

The Western Living People’s Choice voting is open until June 30 at 11:59 p.m. PST, so act fast and don’t be shy about championing your faves. We can’t wait to see the power of the people in action. And a special thanks to Thermador for supporting this awards program!
