The Cowichan Music Festival is proud to recognize the dedication, hard work, and artistic achievements of its participants through a variety of awards, scholarships and bursaries. Each year, generous support from individuals, businesses, service clubs, foundations and community organizations makes it possible for us to celebrate excellence and encourage young performers as they continue their artistic journeys.

In addition to festival awards, outstanding performers may be selected to represent the Cowichan Music Festival at the Performing Arts BC Provincial Festival. Provincial representatives are chosen by the adjudicators.

Awards are presented across each festival discipline, with recipients selected in accordance with the festival syllabus and the recommendations of our adjudicators.

We are deeply grateful to our donors, whose generosity helps inspire and support the next generation of performers. Their ongoing commitment ensures that the Cowichan Music Festival continues to provide meaningful recognition and opportunities for young artists throughout our community.
