The Montreal English Theatre Awards (also known as the META awards) are one of the most prestigious awards in the Montreal English theatre industry.[1] The formal awards ceremony takes place annually in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[2]
The Montreal English Theatre Awards were created in 2012, with support from the Quebec Drama Federation, its founding partner. The META awards were created to recognize work in Montreal's English theatre industry and promote emerging theatre artists and companies in Montreal.[3] The first META ceremony was held in Montreal, in 2013.
The current META awards statuette awarded to individuals of winning categories is a hollow and tall, matte black cylinder, with the letters META engraved on the front, with a red interior. This specific statuette is the one awarded to the winners of each category, since 2014. Previously, in 2013, the statuette awarded had the same overall appearance, excluding the black exterior, which was replaced with a false gold exterior.[4]
Special awards are decided exclusively to that year, by the META committee, highlighting the elements they feel deserve recognition.
