The Rio Tinto Alcan Performing Arts Award is a $60,000 production fund open to performing arts companies resident in British Columbia and is administered by The Cultch. The award was conceived to recognize the achievements of British Columbia performing arts companies and to foster the creation of new work by providing a significant financial investment in a new production by the chosen company.

The Award rotates annually between Dance, Theatre and Music (note that no company may apply more than once in any three-year cycle). The premiere (four performances) of the selected production will be presented at The Cultch as a key component of the award. The premiere will take place in February of the year following the announcement of the chosen company.
