Time is running out to nominate people in the Owen Sound area who are doing outstanding work within the local arts and culture scene.
The City of Owen Sound will accept nominations of individuals and organizations for the 2026 Arts and Culture Awards until 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
The awards aim to celebrate excellence across the region in highlighting the vital role that arts, culture, and heritage play in strengthening the community. The awards are divided into eight categories: emerging artist, cultural impact, artistic excellence, outstanding event, cultural changemaker, cultural legacy, shared voices, and the frontier award.
A panel made up of past nominees and award recipients selects the winners.
The awards will be handed out, alongside the annual Jan Chamberlain Volunteer of the Year Awards, at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre on April 16.
Nominations can be submitted online at OwenSound.ca/Awards.
