iDREAM (Inclusivity, Diversity, Racial Equity Award in Media) is proud to open applications for the 2026 awards cycle. Each year, iDREAM donates $5M CAD in media advertising space across five categories — Art, Entrepreneurship, Film, Music, and Sport — to organizations and individuals doing exceptional work across Canada.

Unlike traditional grants, an iDREAM Award gives you something money can’t always buy: national visibility. Past recipients — including Nia Centre for the Arts, Nobellum, The Legacy Awards, Aaron Ridge, and Little Native Hockey League — have and continue to use their media placements to reach new audiences, build credibility, and accelerate their growth.

Why apply now:

• Gain national exposure through donated media space, not a cash prize with strings attached
• Join a growing community of past recipients across five creative and cultural sectors
• Applications are reviewed on merit, impact, and alignment with iDREAM’s mission of inclusivity and racial equity in media

Applications close August 30, 2026.

Don’t wait — submit your application today and put your work in front of the audience it deserves.
