The Canadian Folk Music Awards take place Nov 30 - Dec 1, 2018 in Calgary, Alberta at The Gateway (a.k.a. “The Gate”.)

Awards will be presented throughout both evenings, Nov 30 and Dec 1, at the Awards Weekend Concerts. These concerts combine the most loved events of the Canadian Folk Music Awards’ first fourteen years – the vibrant energy of the live music showcases and the awards gala – the Awards Weekend Concerts will capture the true heart of the folk community, while celebrating the 2018 nominees and the category recipients. Established by Canada’s burgeoning and internationally-recognized folk music community, the awards currently boast 19 categories. Five nominees are chosen for each category unless there is a tie in which 6 are chosen. A two stage jury process by 100 jurors located across Canada representing all official provinces, territories and languages determine the official recipients in each category.
