At JoyFest, we believe that joy is a spark that should be nurtured long after the festival fires go out. This year, we are honoured to grant one child the gift of a lifetime: one full year of creative discovery.

Whether it is a year of music lessons to find their rhythm, or a specific passion that would deeply enrich their world, we will support a young soul in our community to build confidence, skill and self trust. The gift of showing children the magic of community is our blessing.

How to Nominate

Do you know a child who would be transformed by this gift? We invite our ticket holders to nominate a recipient for the 2026 Joy Grant.

To nominate, fill the form below with:

1. Your JoyFest Ticket Order Number.

2. A Mobile Number (so we can notify you on the day to head toward the stage!).

3. The Child’s First Name and age (please do not include surnames or other identifiable data).

4. A short description of why this child would benefit from a year of music lessons (or a specific alternative that would deeply impact their life).

A Note on Privacy & Safety

To protect the privacy of our young community members, please do not include the child’s full name or sensitive personal details in your email. Simply tell us about their journey, their spark, and their potential.

The Reveal

The recipient of the 2026 Joy Grant will be announced live on stage during the festival! To keep the magic alive while respecting privacy, we will announce the First Name and Order Number of the winner.

Let’s create a legacy of joy, together.
