In co-operation with its Provincial and Territorial Affiliates, the Canadian Music Educators’ Association seeks to recognize those who advance music education in any Canadian province through building community or establishing significant collaborative efforts with the CMEA/Acme Builders Award and the CMEA/Acme Builders Award for Newer Teachers. These awards recognize and highlight the activism of members in support of an improved music education landscape in Canada. Each affiliate MEA will begin accepting nominations for awards to be presented during the 2012-2013 school year. Anyone can nominate a CMEA/Acme member to receive this award based on successes building a more unified community of music educators, raising the profile of the value of music education in Canada, making a significant contribution to interprovincial or national initiatives in music education, establishing sustainable collaborative initiatives in music education, or developing mentorship initiatives for newer and/or pre-service music educators. These criteria reflect the values we all share in appreciating those colleagues that create new ways for our profession to work together! Nomination forms will be available through each provincial/territorial MEA in the coming months.
