Description
The Arctic Inspiration Prize is the largest annual prize in Canada. It inspires, enables and celebrates the achievements of the people of the North, recognizing diverse teams with innovative projects in the fields of education, sustainable housing, health, performing arts, traditional knowledge, language, and science.
Through its Charitable Trust, and with an endowment of approximately $50 million, the AIP is led and owned by the North and is entirely for the people of the North, from Yukon to Nunatsiavut. The $3 million in seed money awarded annually means each Laureate team is able to get their projects off the ground and make their dreams, and those of their communities, come true.
The Arctic Inspiration Prize is by the North and for the North with the unconditional support of the South and is a community of people and groups, including Indigenous organizations, academia, governments, non-governmental organizations, industry, philanthropy, media and arts and culture organizations, who share a common goal: to recognize northern innovation and excellence and encourage teamwork for the betterment of life in Canada’s North.
