Welcome to the Thrivve Spotlight Awards, where we celebrate the brilliance, creativity, and resilience of international students across Canada. At Thrivve Magazine, we believe in the power of diversity and the extraordinary contributions that international students bring to our communities. Founded in 2021 as a passion project, Thrivve Magazine is a soon-to-be Non-Profit organization with a digital platform, printed magazine, and online community for international students and newcomers in Canada.
Every year we release 6 issues with information that could help thousands of students. This year, we wanted our last issue to be a special one, an issue that would be dedicated to celebrating international students, and with that, the idea of the Spotlight Awards was born. The Thrivve Spotlight Awards celebrate the brilliance, creativity, and resilience of international students across Canada. This initiative aims to recognize seven international students, one organization, and one teacher for standing out of the pack.
We want to celebrate those who go above and beyond in their academic, entrepreneurial, cultural, and artistic endeavours. Each winner will receive a prize and have their own featured article in the special issue of Thrivve Magazine, set to be released in late January 2025.
