“The JUNO Awards exist to honour our best artists and inspire the next great ones. This is what we love about CanadaSound; it’s open to anyone. In as much as I expect some of Canada’s best-known bands to create exceptional music, I am equally excited about the prospect of hearing from the next generation of artists we may not even know yet.”
~CARAS President and CEO, Allan Reid
About The JUNO Awards:
Presented annually by The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), The JUNO Awards is Canada’s premier awards show and the Canadian music industry’s most prestigious recognition for excellence in recorded music. Founded as The Gold Leaf Awards in 1970, the JUNO Awards has grown from a one-night industry event held in Toronto, ON, to a national weeklong music celebration hosted in a different city each year. Since the first broadcast of The JUNO Awards in 1975, more than 155 million Canadians have tuned in to celebrate the country’s musical achievements in 41 categories, representing multiple genres. The Awards help tell the story of our collective past, chronicling more than four decades of musical highlights and unforgettable JUNO moments. Learn more about The JUNO Awards.
