The Earl A. Glick Emerging Canadian Filmmaker Award is a Canadian film award, presented annually at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival to honour works by emerging Canadian documentary filmmakers. Directors who are screening their first or second films in the festival program are eligible for the award, which includes a $3,000 prize endowed by the estate of Canadian film producer Earl A. Glick.[1]
The award was presented for the first time in 2013. Prior to that year, Canadian and international emerging filmmakers were eligible for a single Emerging Artist award.[2] From 2013 until 2021, the award was presented as Emerging Canadian Filmmaker, with Glick's name being added in 2022.
