Design Edge Canada is proud to present its third annual Regional Design Awards. Last year’s awards were the best yet – with a 30% increase of entries over the previous year!

This year we’ve got two new categories:
• Campaigns (you can submit between 4 to 8 elements as a group)
• Mobile design (phones, tablets & e-readers)

This year we’ve streamlined the submissions process:
• Work submitted in five of the categories can be submitted online.

This year we’ve upped the benefits for participating:
• Each entrant will receive 10 free photo credits courtesy of sponsor Bigstock
• Best of Region winners will be profiled on the Reggie Honour Roll featured on the Reggie Facebook page.
• Plus a whole host of other benefits

The only awards program of its kind in Canada, the Regional Design Awards sees designers and design studios from the same creative community compete in 14 categories, with a chance to be named Best in Region.

You compete within your own geographic region. Top designers from outside your region will judge your work.

Canada is blessed with great talents from all corners of the country. Show the rest of Canada what you’re made of. Let’s celebrate the best design from Campbell River to Iqaluit!
