The Canada Council for the Arts is accepting nominations from artists, groups, and organizations from culturally diverse, Deaf, disabled, and official language minority communities.

The Canada Council recognizes and affirms the Aboriginal and treaty rights of the Indigenous peoples of this land and encourages applications and nominations from First Nations, Inuit and Métis individuals, groups, and organizations in all its programs. Measures are in place in all programs to support these commitments.

The prizes are funded by an endowment from the Molson Foundation and are administered by the Canada Council in collaboration with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The winners are chosen by a peer assessment committee, which is appointed jointly by the Canada Council and SSHRC. These prizes are funded by an endowment from the Molson Foundation.
