The Nova Star Awards Gala
The Nova Star Awards Gala is a premier red-carpet celebration of youth excellence in Film, Television, and Commercials.
Often described as the “Youth Oscars Experience,” the Gala brings together young performers, families, industry professionals, and partners for an unforgettable evening of recognition and celebration.
This is more than an event — it is a moment where young talent steps into recognition and families celebrate achievement at the highest level.
Held annually in Toronto, the Gala continues to grow as a national platform for excellence in youth performance and storytelling.
