The Youth Media Alliance (YMA) seeks to enrich the lives of Canadian children and teens by helping improve the quality of the content created for them on all screen-based media. The Alliance pursues its mission of encouraging high-quality content by presenting annual awards of excellence to the best productions targeting young English- and French-speaking Canadians, and emerging talent by awarding scholarships.

"This opportunity means a lot to me. It has really propelled me, as part of the LGBTQ community under-represented in the industry. I've been able to take part in festivals to make my voice heard, and to be surrounded by like-minded people from whom I can draw inspiration and build relationships." |
"This enabled me to finance internships and develop as an artist, director and filmmaker. For the first time, I was able to be a production manager and realize my dream, to reach my career goals. Thank you to our partners and The YMA." |
"I'm really enjoying putting my skills to work on Lopii's projects, but especially learning new skills and strategies that will help me grow in the children's media industry. I'm grateful to The YMA and the Steven DeNure Fellowship for giving me the opportunity to learn and grow." |
