Leon is a prolific creator with experience within the music industry spanning over a decade who will likely be the “Ambassador” for this round of funding; iaamSaam is a self-taught creative and multidisciplinary audio-visual artist, and Skiifall is a burgeoning force on the worldwide hip-hop scene. All three recipients, who’re awarded the grant as a part of a creative team together with a producer and director, will receive 20,000 Canadian dollars with the Ambassador receiving a further 15,000 Canadian dollars toward their music video project.
