Genie Awards

The Genie award was designed by renowned Romanian-born Israeli-Canadian artist Sorrel Etrog (1933–2010). Etrog's work is represented in major capitals and cities all over the world. He received several important commissions, including those for Expo 67, Montreal; SunLife Centre, Toronto; Windsor Sculpture Garden, Windsor, Ontario; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and Olympic Park in Seoul, South Korea. His commission for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, entitled Powersoul, is his largest work.

In 1968 Etrog was commissioned to design the Canadian Film Award that was originally named the "Etrog" and later renamed the "Genie". The award recognized excellence in both English and French-speaking Canadian films. This award was retired in 2012 and replaced in 2013 by the Canadian Screen Award.

Wallis Awards has manufactured this award annually until its retirement in 2012.

The award was bronze cast and then gold plated.
