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 and freelance brains of BC.
2026 West Coast Creative Awards websiteEach piece of work must be made by a minimum of two Vancouver (and area)-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. 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).
