Joanna Syrokomla and Cynthia Amsden, Co-Chairs of the Canadian Alliance of Film & Television Costume Arts & Design (CAFTCAD) Awards are delighted to announce the date of the 2020 CAFTCAD Awards: Sunday, March 1, 2020.
The CAFTCAD Awards are also very pleased to welcome Nobis, the globally renowned Canadian premium outerwear and accessory brand, as an Official Sponsor and introduce the Nobis Industry Icon Award which will recognize and honour iconic talent who have made a distinctive impact to the Canadian film and television costume industry. United by the celebration of excellence, the 2020 Caftcad Awards marks 11 years of partnership between Nobis and CAFTCAD.

Bringing the costume community together from across the country and recognizing their talent was long overdue. This new annual tradition will go the distance in our industry and make a crucial difference to all costume professionals.
