Are you often described as a leader, an achiever, or an innovator? Do you have limitless drive, ambition, and determination? If so, there’s an opportunity to receive a $25,000 prize towards your post-secondary education. 

​The STEAM Horizon Awards recipients will have inspiring achievements in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. These achievements could be formally recognized – a science fair win, a published app, a patented invention, etc. or they could be less formally recognized – the founding of a local coding club, developing a course for kids, or creating a local interactive art installation. Regardless of the accomplishment, it must reflect passion and illustrate a positive impact on the community.
Show more ⟩⟩


Recipients see how technology affects the world from many different perspectives, and are passionate about using it to solve problems in their community. Since it can be broadly interpreted, it’s important recipients approach their love of technology as they see fit – whether from an art and design perspective, as an engineer, or as a scientist. Finally, the recipients will be excellent communicators and act as role models and ambassadors for future STEAM generations. They can easily persuade through oral and/or written communication, but could also clearly communicate through other media, like video or art. They have the potential to inspire youth and create a better world for generations to come.
