On a gorgeous evening that filled patios all over the city, students, recent graduates and designers packed into the lecture theatre at Emily Carr University. They were there to find out the winners of the 24th annual Salazar Awards, an award that recognizes excellence in student design. The Salazar Awards are named after Enrique Salazar, a founding member of the GDC, and instructor at Capilano College until his death in 1985.
