The CITT/ICTS Awards recognize individuals and companies that excel in their field of live production in Canada.
The nomination of candidates for the CITT/ICTS Awards is driven directly by the membership. This is your chance to recognize a company, the work of a mentor, a colleague or someone whose work you admire!
The final selection will be made by the Awards Committee, which consists of the Section Chairs, the Vice President, and either the Past President or Current President. The 2025 awards will be presented at the CITT/ICTS 2025 Annual Conference Rendez-vous, in Halifax, NS.
