Rafael Goldchain of Toronto and Montrealers Angela Grauerholz and Isabelle Hayeur are finalists for the fifth annual honour.

Goldchain, who was born of Polish-Jewish heritage in Chile, is known for a series of self-portraits depicting himself as his ancestors.

German-born Grauerholz is co-founder of Artexte, an archive for Canadian art in Montreal.

And Hayeur, a Montreal native, is a digital image artist known for her large-sized photographic montages, videos and site-specific installations.
