The winner will be announced during Canadian Music Week at the Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Awards banquet in Toronto on March 22nd.

Nominations are made by no less than 15 professionals from the retail, recording and live sectors with up to seven contenders nominated in each category.

The awards are presented to honour individuals and organizations that have made a significant contribution to the Canadian music industry in the past year.

In order to be considered for nomination, the nominator must take into consideration the number of acts booked and the support of Canadian talent.

“We are thrilled to have been nominated,” said Dee Adrian, General Manager of the Capitol Centre.

“We had no idea we were in contention until the announcement was made. It is wonderful to know that the Capitol Centre is considered by our performers to provide similar quality services as arts centers’ in much bigger cities.”

The other nominees are in Thunder Bay, Montreal, St. John, Toronto, Brampton, Victoria and Halifax.

It is the first time the Capitol Centre has been nominated.

“The Capitol Centre is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and this nomination is just the start of an amazing season,” said Adrian.

The Canadian Music Week is in its 30th year, bringing together Sound Recording, New Media and Broadcast for a fantastic week of events.
