The Vancouver Asian Heritage Month Society is a registered secular non-profit organization with year-round programming in the arts and culture scene. Our mission is to foster, promote and celebrate the arts and cultural diversity that Asian-Canadian communities bring to Canadian society. Every year, VAHMS honours three individuals, community organizations, or educational institutions representing Pan-Asian communities that have made significant contributions to this vision.

And we need your help! If you know of an individual, community organization, or education institution that deserves recognition, we want to hear from you.

Honourees for the Community Awards will be selected for:

• Leadership or support for Pan-Asian arts, education, or culture
• Significant contribution towards social integration of Asian-Canadian communities through cross-cultural, or multicultural exchange
• Achievement or contributions to promote Pan-Asian cultural heritage
• Enhancement of multicultural identity, education, or experience through cultural or artistic expression
• Collaboration with individuals or institutions promoting the advancement of inclusive learning

Please note that you can nominate more than one individual or organization and that honourees will be selected by an independent selection committee appointed by VAHMS.

VAHMS will be accepting nominations for honourees until April 15th.
