Yes, school is nearly out, but that’s not the only big thing that’s coming to an end.

We’re talking about Canadian Family’s 6th Annual Great Teacher Awards contest.

You nominated outstanding educators from across the country. We had the tough job of narrowing it down to 13 amazing semi-finalists. Now it’s up to you to choose the best of the best.

All of the teachers here are tops on our list, but your votes will determine which three classroom superstars will win cash for their class, and a profile in in Canadian Family’s back-to-school issue.

Each of the three finalists take home top honours, plus $2,500 to put towards supplies and programming for their students.

The contest closes June 30th. Who will be the top three teachers? That’s up to you.

Check out our finalists and vote now!
