“Canada’s Got Talent” is increasing its top prize to $1 million.
Citytv says its competition series will return for a third season with a bumped-up award from parent company Rogers, described as the biggest cash prize in Canadian television history.
In addition, CIBC will award $25,000 each to six Golden Buzzer acts, or entertainers deemed good enough to progress from auditions straight to the semifinal.
The news was revealed during Tuesday’s Season 2 finale, which awarded a grand purse of $150,000.
