Design Week SK is an invitation to learn about different areas of design through a series of free lectures and educational events, all open to the public.

Premier's Awards of Excellence in Design entries must be designed in Saskatchewan by Saskatchewan personnel and have been completed within the two-year period prior to Design Week SK. Entries for this prestigious competition are displayed to the public and awards are handed out at an evening gala at the conclusion of Design Week SK.

Design Week SK was created by the Design Council of Saskatchewan, a volunteer organization that is a collective voice of six provincial associations representing design professionals working in the disciplines of architecture, engineering, graphic design, interior design, landscape architecture and planning.
