Upcoming Events

Welcome to the 2020 Canadian Interiors Best of Canada Awards competition.

UPDATE: The COVID-19 pandemic has been causing many unforeseeable difficulties for the Canadian A+D industry, for example inabilities due to lockdown and quarantine restrictions to access new project sites and photograph them.

Therefore, based on your strong feedback regarding that and many other logistical hurdles being faced by the Canadian design community, we at Canadian Interiors have decided to significantly extend the submission window in order to give you more time to submit your Projects and Products to the Canadian Interiors Best of Canada Awards competition.

Submissions are now due by Thursday, September 10.
