Colin Jackson and Arlene Strom Creative Placemaking Award: This award honours an individual artist or group/collective of artists energizing how we interact with our neighbours and neighbourhoods through the arts.

Doug and Lois Mitchell Outstanding Calgary Artist Award: This award was established to honour artists who are lauded for their work in national and international arenas and choose to make Calgary their home.

Enbridge Emerging Artist Award: This award was established to recognize up-and-coming, Calgary-based artists.

MacLachlan Community Beacon Award: This award recognizes individuals who serve as beacons to both their artistic peers and to the broader public because they create the circumstances under which others can express themselves artistically and make a creative contribution to our city.

SANDSTONE City Builder Award: The award recognizes and supports individuals and groups who are committed to enriching Calgary through an artistic practice or arts program(s) that are driven by social impact outcomes.
