Lights! Camera! Action! The stars are aligning for an awards night like no other. Forget the Grammys - the real talent is coming together at the Illume Performing Arts Virtual Awards Ceremony on Friday, October 6.

You watched the grueling regional qualifiers. You witnessed the mesmerizing national showcase in Hamilton. Now watch as dreams come true and lives change forever. Okay, we're being a little dramatic, but this is going to be an epic night!

Tune in as your dazzling hosts Tanya Yousofi and Aryaan Kanji roll out the red carpet. Expect outrageous outfits, riotous banter, and more surprises and special guests than a Beyonce album drop. Most importantly, incredible performing artists from across Canada will take center stage. The winners announced will represent Canada at the Global Encounters Festival next July in Dubai!

When the curtains rise, you won't believe your eyes. Spectacular vocalists, instrumental virtuosos, phenomenal dancers, and creative visionaries will inspire you with passion and artistry.
