We are proud to present a new award. The Nova Scotia Talent Trust and RBC Foundation are collaborating to launch the RBC Emerging BIPOC Artist Award.

Preference will be given to emerging artists in the areas of film, visual arts and music.
Janissa Browne, RBC Branch Manager, will bring greetings and announce the award winner.
You will hear from all eighteen Special Award winners where they are studying and how they have adjusted to their new realities. The performances will make you smile and uplift your heart.
J.P. Deveau, Chair 2011 Canada Games Board, will bring his greetings and remind us of the fantastic legacy the 2011 Canada Games have created with the two 2011 Canada Games Young Artist of Excellence Awards of $10,000 each. Join us to find out who the winning artists are.
