Prize Calendar

Each year, the Canada Council awards over 70 prizes and fellowships to nearly 100 artists and scholars to recognize excellence in various disciplines in the arts, the humanities, and the social and natural sciences. Many of the prizes are privately endowed and are given in perpetuity, in memory of the donors.

In addition to the prizes and fellowships listed below, a wide range of grants and services are available to professional Canadian artists and arts organizations in dance, media arts, music, theatre, writing and publishing, interdisciplinary work and performance art, and the visual arts.

All Canada Council programs are accessible to Aboriginal artists or arts organizations and artists or arts organizations from diverse cultural or regional communities of Canada.

For all prizes and awards, the term "Canadian" means either Canadian citizen or permanent resident, unless otherwise specified.

Architecture endowments and prizes are located on this page under  the  "Visual Arts"  tab or you may go to the main Architecture page.
