The Johanna Metcalf Performing Arts Prizes/Les Prix Johanna-Metcalf des Arts de la scène (Johannas) is one of the largest unrestricted prizes for artists in Ontario, celebrating mid-career and early-career artists across multiple disciplines.
Established in 2019 and named in honour of Johanna Metcalf — who was at the heart of the Metcalf Foundation’s work for over 40 years — the biennial prizes amplify her legacy as a passionate supporter of the arts and artists, and is delivered in partnership with the Ontario Arts Council.
For the 2025 Johannas, 15 finalists were selected from across Ontario in the disciplines of dance, theatre, and music/opera, including artists who are working in the spaces between and across these disciplines. Five winners will be announced on May 5, 2025 at a ceremony at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto.
Each winner will receive a prize of $25,000 and name a protégé who will be awarded $10,000, celebrating early-career artists who show formidable promise. Each of the remaining 10 finalists will receive a prize of $2,000, bringing the total value of the prizes to $195,000.
