  The Rocket is blasting into its 6th year...


We are proud to continue with the much celebrated Shaw Rocket Prize: a $50,000 winner take-all award! This annual prize is awarded to the best independently produced Canadian children’s, youth, or family program.

Entries will be judged by two juries. First, an international jury of top buyers from around the world will pick the top three to five programs out of the entries, and then a jury of kids from across Canada will screen the finalist programs and vote for the $50,000 winner.

New for 2010

  • The 2010 prize will be awarded to the best children’s program targeted to kids aged 6 – 12.
  • We have gone 360! Any related digital content for the program will be judged in addition to the television program. This includes any available digital content that supports the program such as games, the website and mobile applications.

Key Dates

  • Call for Entries deadline is August 23, 2010
  • Finalists will be announced on October 2, 2010 in Cannes
  • The winner will be awarded in November 2010 in Ottawa
