Shaw Rocket Fund

Shaw Rocket Fund is located in Calgary, Canada on 2421 37 Ave NE #100. Shaw Rocket Fund is rated 3.7 out of 5 in the category non-profit organization in Canada. At the Shaw Rocket Fund, we are passionate about stimulating excellence in the Canadian children’s production industry - both on television and digital platforms. Entertainment has become a multi-platform experience – particularly for kids, where it now plays a role in virtually every aspect of their lives. As a forward-thinking, not-for-profit organization, the Rocket Fund recognizes the ever-evolving nature of our media environment and is focused on continually enhancing the media experience of children, youth and families. The Shaw Rocket Prize is one of our biggest initiatives, which celebrates the best in Canadian children's programming and digital content. Kids across Canada vote for their favourite programs (shortlisted by an international jury of esteemed industry professionals), and winners take home $25,000. Startoon is a character talent show, developed in partnership with Wildseed Studios. Animators submit their character animations and compete in various knockout challenges until we're down to the winner. The winner receives a $25,000 production budget as well as guidance and support from the Startoon team to create a pilot that can be presented to broadcasters.
