Canada’s sign industry continues to raise the bar, and the Best of Canada’s Sign Industry Awards (BOCSIes) is an opportunity to recognize the people, companies, and projects driving that progress. Alongside awards for outstanding sign work, the program includes the Sign Company of the Year (SCOTY) honour, recognizing companies that demonstrate excellence beyond individual projects.

Presented by Sign Media Canada in partnership with the Sign Association of Canada (SAC), this year’s competition brought together an impressive range of entries from sign professionals across the country. An independent panel of industry judges reviewed hundreds of eligible projects.

There was even more to celebrate this year with the introduction of a new Installation of the Year category. The category recognizes the skill, precision, and problem-solving that go into bringing a sign project to life.

Here are this year’s winning projects, standout companies, and runners-up.
