SITE Canada ICE Awards
Awarding Excellence in Canada
The SITE Canada Incentive Creative Excellence (ICE) Awards showcases and celebrates the outstanding achievements of our Canadian members in designing, executing and hosting exceptional incentive programs. These awards provide a local focus while embodying the same spirit of excellence as SITE’s global Crystal Awards.
The ICE Awards shine a spotlight on programs that stand out for their creativity and innovation, as well as the positive impact they had on both the attendees and the host destination. This annual awards program features two categories: ‘Program Excellence’ and ‘Destination Excellence’. You are welcome to submit the same program for consideration in both categories if it meets the criteria.
