It’s hard to say which part of our Western Living Designers of the Year process gets the most buzz around these offices. It starts with the entries flooding in—so much incredible talent in this part of the country! And then packaging everything up for our all-star panels of judges—well, we’re as thrilled to showcase your work to them as you are.

But this is a big one: the day we announce the finalists, each a contender to be named Designer of the Year in one of nine categories.

The winners of our judged categories will be announced in our September 2024 issue, as well as here at westernliving.ca. (Sign up for our newsletter and follow us on Instagram so you don’t miss the big announcement.)

But there’s more!
