The 2018 Juno Award nominations have been announced, setting the stage for the winners to be crowned March 24-25 in Vancouver at the 47th annual celebration of Canadian music excellence.
We would like to congratulate the nominees across all 42 categories, and recognize the work, love, and dedication that went into creating the music that landed them on this list. While artists will tell you that they don't make music to win awards, we all know that it's fantastic to be nominated for them... and to win them.
Because the list of categories and nominees is so long, we've picked 20 categories to share with you here, and you can see the full list of nominees at junoawards.ca/nominees.
Leave a comment to tell us who you think should win a Juno in 2018, and who you think was left off of the nominations list this year!
Ready? Here we go...
