What's New > Nominations are open for the 2024 Siminovitch Prize
 |
Peers are invited to nominate an exceptional artist who has developed a marked personal style or approach to their art and has created a high-quality body of work that has made a remarkable contribution and enriched theatre in Canada.
This enrichment may occur, for example, through the development of new practices and methods, the rigorous pursuit of new questions and voices, the nurturing of rich collaborations, or any other process that serves the artist’s work.
The Siminovitch Prize is not a lifetime achievement award but is awarded to an exceptional artist whose practice continues to grow, develop, and expand. Nominees must have at least ten years of experience as professional artists in the discipline for which they are being nominated.
This life-changing $100,000 prize is awarded annually to a mid-career professional artist whose groundbreaking work significantly contributes to advancing the art form. This year the prize is awarded to DESIGNERS.
Each year the winner of the Siminovitch Prize selects a Protégé to receive $25,000 and a year of ongoing coaching and counsel.
