One unified launch.
On Thanksgiving Monday, October 8, 2026, three things happen at once. The Year 2 scholarship winners are announced live on stage. The new Energy Creates documentary releases. And the Year 3 contest opens for submissions.
Filmed at the Petroleum Club in Calgary with a full multi-camera production, the 45 to 50 minute show streams live on YouTube and runs as a 30-minute cut on Global TV and Corus.
Golden Globes, on purpose.
Black tie.
Table seating, friends and families on signed releases, a live host walking through five winner reveals.
Five wins.
Five Canadian students receive up to $100,000 each in post-secondary tuition. One night, all five named.

The moment the credits roll, the new submission window opens. The 2027 cohort starts that night.
