Prizes Sorted by Discipline

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.

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