Annual Canadian music achievement awards
The
Juno Awards
(stylized as
JUNOS
), or simply known as the
Junos
, are awards presented by
the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences
to recognize outstanding achievements in Canada's
music industry
. They were originally called the
Gold Leaf Awards
, and the trophy resembled a
metronome
. Alongside the
Canadian Screen Awards
, they are considered one of the main annual Canadian entertainment award shows. The
first Juno Awards ceremony
was held on February 23, 1970 to honour the musical accomplishments of performers for the year 1969. New members of the
Canadian Music Hall of Fame
are also inducted as part of the awards ceremonies.
History
[
edit
]
The Juno Awards are named in honour of
Pierre Juneau
, the first president of the
Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) and former president of the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
(CBC).
[1]
The
Grammy Awards
are the United States' equivalent of the Juno Awards.
[2]
1970s
[
edit
]
In 1964
RPM
magazine began polling its readers to determine which artists and groups they considered the best in Canada.
[3]
[4]
RPM
announced the results of these polls each December.
[5]
There were no formal award ceremonies.
Record label owner
Stan Klees
met with
RPM
founder
Walt Grealis
to plan a formal music industry awards ceremony. Instead of merely publishing the award results in
RPM
, presentations would be made at a physical venue. The first ceremony was the
Gold Leaf Awards
which took place on 23 February 1970 in
Toronto, Ontario
.
[6]
Later that year
RPM
invited its readers to suggest a new name for these awards. The name "Juneau" was submitted, in honour of Pierre Juneau, the first head of the CRTC. Juneau was instrumental in establishing Canadian content regulations for broadcasters to promote Canadian musicians.
[4]
That name became shortened to Juno and by 1971, the awards ceremonies were referred to as the "Juno Awards".
[7]
From 1970 to 1973,
RPM
announced the winners before the awards night. From 1974, the award winners were not made public until the Juno ceremonies.
[8]
Music industry representatives formed an advisory committee for the Junos in 1974 which became the Canadian Music Awards Association the following year. This organisation assumed full management and operation of the Juno Awards from 1977 and became the
Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences
(CARAS).
[5]
[9]
The Junos were first televised across Canada in
1975
on
CBC Television
.
[10]
Primary ceremonies continued to be broadcast on CBC until
2001
, moving to
CTV Television Network
(CTV) from
2002
to
2017
inclusive. The broadcast returned to CBC from
2018
onward.
[11]
The Canadian Music Hall of Fame was introduced in 1978. In 1979 the stauette's name was officially changed from RPM Annual Gold Leaf Award to Juno Award, and Canada's Prime Minister
Pierre Trudeau
was a presenter.
[6]
1980s
[
edit
]
Joni Mitchell
was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame by Pierre Trudeau in 1982.
[6]
Initially, the awards were presented during the early part of each year. In 1984, organisers postponed that year's awards until December. CARAS maintained a late-year scheduling until January 1988 when it noted the declining viewership of the Juno broadcasts and reverted to an early year awards schedule. CARAS postponed that year's Juno Awards until 12 March 1989, so there was no ceremony in the 1988 calendar year.
[12]
1990s
[
edit
]
In 1991, the awards were hosted in Vancouver, the first time the Juno ceremonies were conducted outside Toronto. That year also marked the introduction of a category for
rap
recordings.
[13]
For the first time the 1995 Awards, held in Hamilton's
Copps Coliseum
, were open to the public. This marked the 25th anniversary of the Junos.
[6]
In 1996 the four-CD, 77-song box set
Oh What a Feeling: A Vital Collection of Canadian Music
and a book were released to mark the 25th anniversary of the Juno Awards. The box set featured popular songs by Canadian artists from the 1960s to 1990s sold over one million copies and was certified diamond. In 2001, a second four-CD box set was released to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the awards. In 2006, a third box set was released to celebrate the 35th anniversary which was certified platinum in Canada.
[14]
2000s
[
edit
]
CARAS transferred the broadcast rights to the Juno Awards from CBC to
CTV
for the 2002 ceremonies. 2006 marked the first time the Junos were broadcast internationally through
MTV2
in the United States and several affiliated MTV channels in other nations. The telecast of the 2006 Juno Awards was available to approximately 250 million people.
[15]
The
Allan Waters Humanitarian Award
honouring media icon
Allan Waters
was inaugurated in 2006. The first artist to be given this honour was
Bruce Cockburn
.
[16]
At the 2007 ceremony, host
Nelly Furtado
made Juno history by being the first nominee with multiple nominations to win every award for which she was nominated. These included the two most prestigious honours, Album of the Year and Artist of the Year.
[17]
On 18 April 2017, CARAS president Allan Reid announced that the ceremonies would return to CBC for the first time since 2002, for at least the next six years. He said he wanted to collaborate with the CBC to bolster a year-round presence for the Juno Awards as a platform for promoting Canadian music.
[18]
The 2020 event was canceled because of the
COVID-19 pandemic in Canada
,
[19]
but later replaced by an online ceremony on June 29.
[20]
Trophy
[
edit
]
Stan Klees developed the first Juno trophies for the inaugural presentations in 1970. These were constructed from
walnut
wood, stood 18 inches (46 cm) tall and resembled a
metronome
.
[5]
[21]
When CBC televised the ceremonies in 1975, the award was constructed from
acrylic
instead of wood while retaining a metronome shape. The trophy was given minor modifications in succeeding years. These included a reduction in size for ease of handling, and changes to the inlay design such as a special 1996 emblem to signify the 25th anniversary.
[22]
In 2000 following criticism from producers that the existing award trophy did not have an attractive television appearance, CARAS commissioned a redesigned award from Stoney Creek, Ontario, artist Shirley Elford. After reviewing three designs, two of which were patterned after the existing trophy, a new trophy design was selected featuring a glass human figure surrounded by a nickel-coated spiral symbolic of a
musical staff
on an aluminum base.
[22]
[23]
A few display statuettes were circulated for presentation during the ceremonies. Within months, winners received their personalized and individually made trophies from Elford.
[24]
[25]
In October 2010, CARAS unveiled a new award design to be used from 2011 on. Elford had developed cancer and was no longer able to produce individual Juno trophies.
[26]
The new design, manufactured by Crystal Sensations of Markham, ON, featured a solid crystal tower containing a
subsurface laser engraving
depicting a spiral-wrapped human figure resembling the previous statuette.
[27]
Elford died in November 2011.
[28]
Nomination process
[
edit
]
Specific award categories and their descriptions vary from year to year reflecting changes and developments in the music industry. In 1964 there were 16 categories,
[14]
and in 2017 there were 42.
[29]
Judging panels change each year. They include people from different areas of the music industry and regions of the country. An advisory committee oversees each category to ensure that all the submissions meet the required criteria.
[14]
The nominations for each year's Junos are based on an eligibility period which lasts for 13 to 14 months, ending on the mid-November prior to the awards ceremony. For example, the eligibility period of the 2010 Juno Awards was from 1 September 2008 to 13 November 2009. Musicians or their representatives submit music released during the eligibility period to CARAS, designated for the appropriate nomination categories. Nominations other than for the
International Album of the Year
may only be awarded to Canadians who have lived in Canada during the last six months of the eligibility period, and are deemed Canadian by birth, passport or immigration status.
[30]
Following the close of the eligibility period, CARAS conducts an initial vote by its members to establish the list of nominees in most categories. Sales figures determined the nominees for
Album of the Year
and
International Album of the Year
. Sales along with a jury vote determine the
New Artist of the Year
,
New Group of the Year
,
Rock Album of the Year
and
Pop Album of the Year
. Sales and a CARAS member vote determine the nominations for
Artist of the Year
and
Group of the Year
.
[30]
After the nominees list is published, another voting round is conducted to determine the winners of most categories. Voting for the
Juno Fan Choice Award
is open to the public and closes after the first hour of the televised ceremony, while voting on general categories is limited to CARAS members. Winners in genre-specific or specialty categories are determined by specially appointed CARAS juries.
[30]
As of 2010, ballots are audited by the major accounting company
PricewaterhouseCoopers
.
[30]
Ceremonies
[
edit
]
The Juno Awards events were not conducted outside
Toronto
until 1991. Since then, the ceremonies have been hosted throughout Canada, reaching both coasts. The provinces of
New Brunswick
,
Prince Edward Island
,
Quebec
, and the
Territories
, have yet to play host to the Junos. In recent years, the various locations often host a number of supporting events and festivals surrounding the awards.
Live performances
[
edit
]
Beginning in 1975 when the CBC began to televise the Junos live performances were featured throughout the show. The Canadian Music Hall of Fame was introduced in 1978. These are the performers who appeared during the show and those who were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of fame.

Award categories
[
edit
]
The "General Field" are awards which are not restricted by music genre.
- The
Artist of the Year
award is presented to the best individual performer.
- The
Album of the Year
award is presented to the performer, featured artists, songwriter(s), and/or production team of a full album if other than the performer.
- The
Single of the Year
award award is presented to the songwriter(s) of a single song.
- The
Breakthrough Artist of the Year
and
Breakthrough Group of the Year
awards are presented to a promising breakthrough performer(s) who in the eligibility year releases the first recording that establishes their public identity (which is not necessarily their first proper release).
Other awards are given for performance and production in specific genres and for other contributions such as artwork and video. Special awards are also given for longer-lasting contributions to the music industry. Award names have changed through the years, most notably the switch in 2003 from the phrase "Best..." to " ... of the year".
Since 2015, Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Fan Choice Award are the only categories that are presented at every broadcast. The awards for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Breakthrough Group of the Year are customarily presented by the
Minister of Canadian Heritage
.
Beginning with the 2016 ceremony, two new awards categories?
Contemporary Roots Album of the Year
and
Traditional Roots Album of the Year
?were introduced to "ensure two genres of music are not competing against each other in the same category".

Criticism
[
edit
]
The Juno Awards have received criticism from several Canadian artists.
Rascalz
[
edit
]
In 1998, the
Rascalz
album
Cash Crop
was nominated for
Best Rap Recording
. Due to
Canadian hip hop
's limited commercial notability, the rap award had never been presented during the main Juno ceremony, instead being relegated to the non-televised technical awards ceremony during the previous evening.
This fact had previously been criticized for creating a barrier to the commercial visibility of Canadian hip hop. Rascalz, however, alleged that
racism
was a factor in the award's disadvantageous scheduling, and became the first Canadian hip hop group to explicitly
decline
the award on that basis.
[58]
Their move sparked considerable media debate about the state of Canadian hip hop. As a result of the controversy, the Juno Awards moved the rap category to the main ceremony the following year.
Matthew Good
[
edit
]
Matthew Good
has won four Juno Awards during his career, but has not attended the ceremonies in any of the years he won. In 2009, he criticized the awards for not promoting Canadian music at the grassroots level, saying, "When it ... isn't kind of this weekend when the Canadian music industry pretends that it's ... not just marketing warehouses for the United States, then sure, I'll be a part of it."
[59]
Kardinal Offishall
[
edit
]
At the
2006 Juno Awards
,
Kardinal Offishall
stated that he would not attend the Junos anymore. "I'm not going to be the Juno's monkey no more, I'm not coming back any more." Offishall cited Canadian hip-hop's low profile at that year's awards as the catalyst for his decision. Offishall further stated, "Really, to me it's really atrocious what they do to hip-hop in this country and what they do for the artists... I just feel like the token hip-hop artist from Canada. For urban music in this country, I mean, not only was hip-hop not televised, but also reggae and R&B; to me, it's sickening." Offishall also criticized the Juno Awards for having the American group
The Black Eyed Peas
perform at that year's ceremony. "I just had enough. They had me perform last night and give away the award ? to me it's all a farce, I really can't put up with it anymore. It's not even that it's embarrassing, it's just disappointing. It doesn't matter what you do in this country, for me anyway, they don't recognize what I do. It's just a bunch of garbage so I won't be a part of it anymore."
[60]
Despite this, Offishall performed at the
2021
and
2023 Juno Awards
.
Juno Week
[
edit
]
For several days prior to the weekend award presentations, events are held in the host city as part of a "Juno Week". Local venues host multiple events throughout the week.

National Hockey League
players as a fundraiser for
MusiCounts
, a charitable music education program operated by CARAS,
[62]
Juno Fan Fare, a meet and greet where fans can meet their favourite Canadian artists,
[63]
Juno Songwriters' Circle, a chance for Canada's most talented songwriters to tell their stories and play an intimate set in support of MusiCounts, and JUNOfest, a music celebration that showcases local artists at various venues in the host city.
