Awards Program

The Cabbagetown Art & Craft Show proudly offers an Awards Program to highlight exceptional talent. Each year, our independent jury recognizes a handful of exhibitors through our Awards Program. Awards are presented on the Saturday morning of the show weekend.

Our Awards Program includes:

Each winner receives a $500 cash prize in addition to a guaranteed spot in the next year’s show and complementary booth fee for a total prize value of $1,000.

All exhibitors are eligible for the Awards Program and no additional application is required.

In addition to our Awards Program, we are honoured to be a part of the Craft Ontario Awards Program supporting contemporary craft practices. Applications and selection for The Craftsperson Award of Merit in Partnership with Craft Ontario award is managed by Craft Ontario.
