Every year, the winners of TVOntario Telefest are celebrated at an Awards Gala.

The Gala will be held this fall in Toronto, Ontario. First, second, and third place awards are granted to entries that meet the judges' criteria.

Winning students will receive an official TVOntario Telefest certificate of merit and their productions may be broadcast on TVO or TFO or mirrored on the TVOntario Website.
