Janze was recognized by the Canadian Jeweller's Challenge from 1982-84 for creating one of the six finest pieces in Canada. He is the only Native artist to have accomplished this to date. Phil also won top prize in jewellery-making from the "Indian Northern Affairs Canada Purchase Show" in 1984. In 1989, he made a 34" round copper Sun mask using the repoussé technique. This was the first large-scale repoussé sculpture to ever be created in contemporary Native art. In 2012, Janzé received the British Columbia Creative Achievement Award for his artistic contributions. He is represented in public and corporate collections in Canada, the USA, Europe, and Japan, and is acknowledged as a master of Northwest Coast Art.
