Applause Awards: Addition of Arts and Culture Category

The City’s Arts and Culture Advisory Committee is inviting the arts community to help design a new award that celebrates outstanding contributions to arts and culture in St. John's.

In 2021, The City established The St. John's Applause Awards program that combines the majority of the City’s individual awards under one banner. This allows us to celebrate outstanding achievements of individuals and organizations in a variety of areas. Learn more about the Applause Awards program here: Applause Awards
