CMPA Indiescreen Awards categories include:

• The Feature Film Producer Indiescreen Award, presented in partnership with Telefilm Canada, celebrates a producer’s filmmaking accomplishments over the course of their career to date, as well as their contribution toward defining the reputation of Canadian cinema on the world stage, and includes a $20,000 prize. This award is open exclusively to CMPA members.
• The TV Producer Indiescreen Award, presented in partnership with the Canada Media Fund, celebrates the achievements of an independent Canadian television media production company and includes a $20,000 prize and up to five passes to the CMPA’s 2027 Prime Time conference. This award is open exclusively to CMPA members.
• The Kevin Tierney Emerging Producer Indiescreen Award recognizes the impressive potential of an up-and-coming producer and includes a $10,000 prize. This award is open to both CMPA members and non-members.

Five nominees will be selected in each award category by juries of industry leaders, and announced later this summer.

The Indiescreen Awards will be presented to the winners in each category at an event that will take place, as part of TIFF, in Toronto on September 10, 2026. The CMPA will provide a travel stipend for the nominated producers to attend the event, if they are based outside of the Greater Toronto Area.
