The Prix Création Mon rêve, created in 2014, is awarded annually by AlterGo, in collaboration with the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Montréal, and the city. This award is made possible through the contribution of the Troupe des artistes handicapés de Chine, which presented the show entitled Mon Rêve at Montréal’s Place des Arts in the fall of 2012. This troupe has held solidarity activities and presented charity shows in more than 60 countries. It was named UNESCO Artist for Peace in recognition of its efforts to promote culture, friendship and understanding.
