West Coast Creative Awards
Date: June 12, 2025
Venue: Hollywood Theatre | 3123 West Broadway Vancouver, BC V6K 2H2 Canada
The West Coast Creative Awards, hosted by the West Coast Creative Society, returns on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at the historic Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver. This annual event—affectionately known as The Coasties—recognizes exceptional work in advertising and design from across the city’s creative industry.
Doors open at 6:00 PM, with the awards show beginning at 8:00 PM, followed by an after-party for attendees to connect, celebrate, and unwind. The evening promises a mix of inspiration, recognition, and community spirit, all in a venue known for its cinematic charm.
The awards highlight creative campaigns and projects led by Vancouver-based teams, spanning agencies, studios, production houses, and independent collaborators. To be eligible, work must have been released publicly (with client approval) between March 4, 2024, and March 4, 2025, and led by at least two local creatives. Unlike traditional awards shows, speculative work is not considered—placing a strong emphasis on real-world impact and collaboration.
The West Coast Creative Society, known for initiatives like Thirsty Thursday socials and Creative Pulse speaker events, aims to foster a more inclusive and grassroots creative community—one that values collaboration over competition and honest work over hype.
Tickets for the 2025 West Coast Creative Awards are available now through Eventbrite, with multiple pricing tiers. Early booking is recommended, as the event is expected to sell out.
FAQ
What’s the dress code?
Smart-casual is encouraged. Think “cool agency party” rather than black-tie gala. Come dressed to celebrate your peers (and maybe snag a photo or two).
Are there physical tickets?
Nope. Just bring your digital ticket on your phone, or be ready to show ID if needed at check-in.
Will there be food or drinks?
Yes! There will be a full bar and snacks available for purchase. The venue is 19+, so bring two pieces of ID.
Can I show up just for the after-party?
There’s no separate ticket for the after-party—it’s included with your event pass. Just come for the whole thing!
Are refunds available?
Tickets are non-refundable. However, if you can’t make it, you’re welcome to transfer your ticket to a friend.
What if I want to sponsor or get involved?
The organizers welcome both in-kind and paid sponsors. Interested parties can reach out directly via the West Coast Creative Society’s website or social channels.
