Imagination Corporation has taken home the top honour at the 2025 Best of Canada’s Sign Industry (BOCSI) Awards, presented by Sign Media Canada and the Sign Association of Canada (SAC-ACE). The company’s project for NEB’s Fun World in Oshawa, Ont., earned the highest overall score across all entries, winning both Best in Show and the Sign Systems category.

Designed and submitted by Dan Sawatzky and fabricated by Imagination Corporation, the expansive façade blends hand-sculpted fibreglass, reinforced concrete, precision board HDU, and plasma-cut steel. Each section was crafted at the company’s shop in British Columbia and transported to Ontario for installation by the NEB team. The result is a vibrant, storybook-inspired exterior that merges artistry, craftsmanship, and technical precision.
