Charles Biddle Award
Celebrating Quebec's diverse arts and culture

The Charles Biddle Award highlights the exceptional contribution of an individual who immigrated to Quebec and whose personal or professional engagement is contributing or has contributed to Quebec's cultural and artistic development on the national or international scene.

The award recognizes the efforts and contribution of an individual who through his or her achievements is a successful role model not only in his or her own field but for Quebec society as a whole.

The award, accompanied by a $2,000 cash prize, will be presented by the Ministère de l'Immigration et des Communautés culturelles in partnership with Culture pour tous during Les Journées de la culture in September 2012.

The winner will be selected by a jury composed of personalities from the arts and culture sector and a representative of the Ministère de l'Immigration et des Communautés culturelles.
