Launched in 2024, Energy Creates invites Canadians aged 15–25 to explore the impact of the Canadian Energy Sector and express their perspectives through original creative work. Submissions included short films, essays, music, poetry, visual art, digital media, dance, and more. A common theme emerged: Canada’s energy leadership must be informed by a pragmatic, balanced approach—one that embraces a mix of energy resources, including renewables, transitional fuels, and traditional forms of energy.

“These students are “Energy Superheroes”,” says filmmaker and founder Mathew Embry. “They’ve created powerful work that explores ideas Canada needs to hear. What’s clear from the submissions is that today’s youth aren’t stuck in polarized debates—they’re focused on practical, balanced, and realistic solutions.”

Selected from hundreds of submissions nationwide, the five winners were chosen by a diverse panel of independent judges, based on the impact of their work—their ability to inform, inspire, and elevate the energy conversation. Each student will receive a full-tuition scholarship valued up to $100,000 to the Canadian post-secondary institution of their choice.

“This feels like a new era,” Embry adds. “Canada is exploring what it means to lead as an energy superpower—and these students are already contributing to that vision.”
