Don Haig Award open to submissions

Calling all Canuck doc filmmakers, the Don Haig Foundation and Hot Docs are looking for the winner of its annual Don Haig Award to take home a $20,000 cash prize.

Sponsored by specialty net documentary, the award is presented during the Hot Docs awards presentation, which last year went to co-directors Philip Lyall and Nimisha Mukerji for 65_RedRoses (pictured). Previous recipients include Bretty Gaylor, Yung Chang and Hubert Davis.

All doc filmmakers across Canada are eligible to submit an application, to be judged by a jury of reps from the Don Haig Award Committee, documentary, Hot Docs and a past award recipient.

Deadline is Friday, January 28.
