The Island Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) spotlights the creative forces shaping Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands by highlighting the products, projects and people whose excellence is achieved through design. 

From design thinking to visual design, the awards celebrate the role design plays in shaping successful places, products, experiences, and interactions.

A panel of judges has now narrowed the field to five finalists in each category.

From interiors to products to community design — the shortlist highlights the best of Island creativity and innovation. Congratulations to all the finalists who are raising the bar for design excellence in our region.
