Arctic Inspiration Prize Awards Ceremony
Every year the AIP invites its community, as well as individuals from across the country, to join together in celebration of the current year’s Finalists and new winning Laureates. The live Awards Ceremony is hosted in partnership with a variety of different organizations and in collaboration with a different host city each year (typically alternating between North and South).
In addition to celebrating the nominated and winning projects, the awards ceremony is a cultural showcase, including musical performances from artists from across the North. Each winning team also receives an original piece of artwork from a Northern Canadian artist.
13th Annual Awards Ceremony
Time to celebrate the wonderful achievements of the Arctic Inspiration Prize laureates past and present. The AIP’s 13th Annual Awards Ceremony will take place on May 13 in Ottawa at the Rogers Centre (formerly the Shaw Centre). The reception will take place at 1 pm, and the ceremony will start at 2 pm.
This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as an AIP community in celebration of Northern ingenuity and excellence.
We are so pleased to be hosting the AIP ceremony on the same day as Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami’s Tapiriit, known as A Taste of the Arctic. Tapiriit will be at the National Arts Centre from 6 pm to 10 pm.
There is no cost to attend the ceremony, we only ask that you RSVP by April 18, 2025, by emailing: [email protected].
We look forward to seeing you in Ottawa!
