The Governor General’s Awards in Visual and Media Arts are Canada’s foremost distinctions for excellence in visual and media arts. These awards were created in 1999 through a partnership of the Canada Council for the Arts and then Governor General of Canada, Roméo LeBlanc.
As of 2007, up to eight awards are available annually: up to six awards of $25,000 each are available for distinguished Artistic Achievement in visual and/or media arts; one award of $25,000 is available for the Saidye Bronfman Award for excellence in the fine crafts; and one award of $25,000 is available for Outstanding Contribution to recognize an individual or group for outstanding contribution to contemporary visual and/or media arts. An independent peer jury of senior visual and media arts professionals selects the winners.
