The Office of the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, with generous support from the Government House Foundation, is honoured to announce the launch of the Lieutenant Governor’s Arts and Music Awards.
As a part of celebrations for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, these awards will recognize individuals, groups, and organizations that have demonstrated exceptional leadership, creativity, community engagement, passion, or commitment to fostering and mentoring others in the fields of visual arts, music or performance.

Twenty individual awards valued up to $5,000 each will be awarded, and four to five organizational awards will be awarded with a value of up to $15,000, dependent on the total number of nominations received. A selection committee will include representation by esteemed community leaders from visual arts, music and performing arts. Nominations will be open until May 13, 2022.
