We started the WCCS on a feeling that the advertising and design industry of the West Coast was under-served at home, and under-represented on the world stage. The Coasties is an opportunity to correct that, by honouring the incredibly diverse and different creative work that comes out of the agencies, studios, production companies and freelance brains of BC.
2025 West Coast Creative Awards websiteEach piece of work must be made by a minimum of two Vancouver and Lower Mainland-based creatives must have conceptualized and led production on the entered work in all creative categories. They must reside in and work from a Vancouver based organization or the Vancouver office of an organization. Same rules apply to individuals submitting work not associated with an agency/production company. The client and account team can be located in another location if minimum creative needs are met.
All entered work must have been produced in response to an actual brief from a client or approved the client before publication. All entered work must have been available to the public through legal mediums. All entered work must have been made on behalf of a contracted client with their approval and funding. Spec work is not permitted (this does not apply to student categories). All entries must be commercially released in their original form between the allotted time period. In our 2025’s show's case, that means March 4th, 2024 and March 4, 2025
