The Cascadia Creative Awards, presented by NextNW, recognize outstanding creative work produced in the Great Northwest.
These awards honor projects, teams, and individuals whose work demonstrates excellence in strategy, craft, and impact across marketing, advertising, design, and creative disciplines. Rooted in the Cascadia region, the awards reflect the distinct perspective of the Northwest—thoughtful, independent, values-driven, and deeply connected to community.
The Cascadia Creative Awards are designed to spotlight work that moves businesses forward, resonates with audiences, and contributes meaningfully to the creative industry. Submissions are evaluated on creativity, effectiveness, and execution, with an emphasis on clarity of idea and real-world impact.
Whether you’re submitting client work, internal initiatives, or passion projects, the Cascadia Creative Awards exist to elevate the work shaping the creative economy of the Great Northwest.
Submissions are accepted ONLY for work produced by and/or for a Pacific Northwest-based company and presented to the public in the 2024 and 2025 calendar years.
We define the Pacific Northwest as the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska and Montana, and the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta.
