In memory of Jane and in recognition of her contributions to the arts, the Jane Cameron Archives Committee (JCAC) and the Canadian Down Syndrome Society (CDSS) have established an annual award for a person with Down syndrome who displays expertise in an area of the arts. Visual, written and performing arts are included. The award consists of a cash prize of $500. A medal based upon one of Jane's tapestries, produced by celebrated Canadian artist Jeff de Boer, will also be awarded.
To be considered for the selection, applications must be received by CDSS not later than
April 15. Representatives from JCAC and CDSS will evaluate the submissions and agree
upon a recipient not later than
April 30 each year. The recipient will be notified. The award is made each May at the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Down Syndrome Society. The winner does not have to be present to receive the award.
