The Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award is a monetary award given since 1971 by the Canada Council for the Arts to Canadian artists judged to be outstanding in their mid-careers.
Since 2005, the award is given to one recipient in each of the following seven fields: dance, inter-arts,[1] media arts, music, theatre, visual arts and writing and publishing.
The award, worth Cdn$15,000 (CAD), was founded by Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton in 1967.
Until 2005, the award was given usually to 3-4 people in the fields of visual arts (including sculpture) and music, though not in both fields every year.
