Design Edge Canada proudly announced the winners for the first ever Regional Design Awards at a reception held June 21 at the Roosevelt Room in Toronto. This unique awards program celebrates the best of Canadian graphic design from all corners of the country.

Fifty-eight winners were recognized across eight regions of Canada, from BC and Yukon to the Atlantic provinces, at the evening reception. One project within each region was named “Best of Region” and received the top honours of the night.

“We’re impressed with the turnout tonight and the incredible vibe going on here,” commented Award Producer Doug Bennet, of the event. “Canadian designers are amazingly talented and we want to recognize that with our program. We hope next year we’ll have more regional representation and more entries from all regions.”

The contest received nearly 500 individual entries from across the country. A panel of eight volunteer judges, one from each region, selected a total of 142 finalists for awards in 13 categories, including logo, identity applications, packaging, student work, and more. Of these finalists, 58 winners were chosen.

Judging took place in March. The unidentified projects were reviewed over two rounds by seven judges (all but the one judge from that region), and scored anonymously. The projects that were given a minimum score were chosen as finalists and the highest scoring projects were chosen as winners. The judges chose the Best of Region award winners amongst the winning projects from each region.

All finalists and winners are showcased in the Design Annual published by Design Edge Canada which will be distributed as part of its the July/August issue. To order a copy of the Annual, please contact awards@designedgecanada.com.
