We’re looking for the hottest talent in the Canadian screen production industry – and we need you to help us find it.

If you know someone who is a rising star in their field, let us know by nominating them for the Playback 5 to Watch.

There are no age, credential or craft-related restrictions: this is an industry in which careers progress at different paces.

We welcome submissions from all sectors of the production community, including but by no means limited to: screenwriters, composers, producers, directors, actors, post-production professionals, game creators, transmedia producers and VFX artists.

What we do need is a solid argument that your nominee is special and deserves to be recognized for their outstanding talent.

After all: we’ve narrowed the list down to five this year and the competition will be fiercer than ever.

Submit your nominations here

The nomination deadline is JUNE 24, so don’t delay in submitting your nomination.

Nominations will be vetted by Playback’s editorial staff and an advisory board.
