You are an artist living with an intellectual disability (with or without ASD), over 18 years old and living on the Island of Montreal? This contest is for you !

The purpose of the Janine Sutto Award is to underscore the contribution of art, in all its forms, as a tool for raising awareness and encouraging the inclusion of people living with an intellectual disability, with or without an ASD. The awards are designed to officially value and recognize the artistic projects (for example, artwork, dance or song) of these individuals, and thus to promote a positive image of differences.

To register this contest, you must : 

• have an intellectual disability, with or without an ASD;
• be age 18 or over;
• live in Montreal;
• present an artwork or artistic project created between the years 2018-2020;
• submit a different artwork or project if they have already received the award in the past and are entering the competition again.

Janine-Sutto Award Prize : 

• A scholarship of $ 1,000 offered by the Accès Culture network of the City of Montreal.
• The presentation of the work or the artistic projects at the Maison de la culture Janine Sutto during the 2020-2021 season.
• The winner will also receive an art work produced by a member of MAIH.
• In addition, the recipient of the Janine-Sutto Award will benefit from notoriety and visibility from the Montreal Association for the Intellectually Handicapped (MAIH) and its partners will promote them throughout the year.

Janine-Sutto Awards Ceremony:

The Janine-Sutto Awards will take place during September as part of the season launch of the Maison de la Culture Janine-Sutto, partner of the competition. The date will be announced later.
