About this Event
Join us for the Island Design Excellence Awards Ceremony on Thursday, November 6.
This star-studded evening will put a disco-ball spotlight on the creative forces shaping Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.
Much like the unforgettable Design Victoria launch party, this isn’t just another industry event — it’s a high-energy celebration where our creative community comes together to honour the products, projects, and people whose excellence is achieved through design.
Raise a glass with us as we toast the inaugural IDEA finalists and winners (the first of many to come!).
Tickets are limited — secure yours now and be part of this milestone celebration.

Food & Beverage
Guests will enjoy a generous charcuterie by Alibi Catering and a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options.
Footwear Tip
The awards ceremony will include lots of standing and mingling at high-top tables. We’re all for stylish party looks, but pair them with shoes that keep you comfortable—chic flats, block heels, or reliable dress shoes—so you can enjoy the night start to finish. A limited number of seats will be available for those who need them.
Important Reminders:
- Free street parking is available nearby
- Self-serve coat check will be available (please avoid bringing valuables)
- The venue is wheelchair accessible
- Please keep phones on silent during the ceremony out of respect for our honorees
- Professional photography will be provided (personal phone photos are welcome!)
- Awards will be issued at the event and can otherwise be collected at the Becoming Deisgn Office (738 Fort Street) after the event
