Wednesday, July 6th, 2022 

CANADIAN FOLK MUSIC AWARDS OPEN SUBMISSIONS FOR 2023 SLAIGHT MUSIC UNSUNG HERO AWARD

Application Deadline is August 31, 2022.

The Award recognizes the contributions to the arts of those who work behind the scenes.

TORONTO, June 1, 2022 – The 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards announces it is currently accepting applications for the Slaight Music Unsung Hero Award. The application deadline for this category is August 31, 2022  (please note that this is later than the final submission deadline for the other awards, which is July 15, 2022 at 5pm EST). There is no fee to apply for this award.

The Slaight Music Unsung Hero Award is an annual award recognizing the exceptional contribution of an individual, group, or organization active in any aspect of the Canadian folk music scene (performance, promotion, presentation, etc). It is meant to recognize those not generally recognized as a high profile individual, group, or organization, but who work tirelessly behind the scenes for the love of the music and who have not been recognized for their contributions by national or international music entities. It includes volunteers in all their diversity who, year after year, lend support to folk clubs, festivals, house concerts, etc. Posthumous nominations for individuals are not accepted.

All submissions are adjudicated by members of the CFMA Board of Directors, who will select a recipient from the eligible submitted candidates. There is no fee for this nomination. 

For complete details and to submit an application, please visit: folkawards.ca/eligibility/unsung-hero-award/

The Slaight Music Unsung Hero Award will be announced at the 18th edition of the Canadian Folk Music Awards (CFMAs), which takes place the weekend of March 30 – April 2, 2023 in Vancouver, BC. The weekend’s focus events will take shape as two hosted Awards Weekend Concerts, which are open to the public. Check the CFMA website for details and upcoming ticketing information.
