Every year, the IV Prize recognizes an individual in Metro Vancouver doing or pursuing something interesting with a one-of-a-kind award and cash prize.
The IV Prize casts a wide net for nominations from artists, athletes, adventurers exploring new areas to rocket scientists, designers, and doctors doing things in unexpected ways. The candidates we're looking for embody the word 'interesting' to its full potential.
