9th Annual Best of Canada Design Competition

The 9th annual Best of Canada Design competition received a record number of entries from all across the country with most submissions highly innovative and creative. The six-member judging panel discussed and debated, reviewing every entry, and finally selecting 15 project winners, seven product winners and one lighting application winner.

Congratulations to both the winners and to all those who entered and proved once again that Canadian design and designers achieve at an exceptional level. The winners will be featured in the July/August issue of Canadian Interiors and feted at a gala awards reception in September.
