The Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Awards, worth $15,000, are awarded annually starting in 2005 for outstanding artistic achievement by Canadian mid-career artists in the disciplines of Dance, Inter-Arts, Media Arts, Music, Theatre, Visual Arts and Writing and Publishing.
The Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Fund originated from a generous bequest by the late Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton to the Canada Council for the Arts in 1967. Until 2005, the annual revenues were used to award senior grants in Visual Arts and Music.
