MUSIC AWARDS

The Canadian Urban Music Awards is the premiere event in Canada's urban music industry. The next awards show the 8th Annual CUMA Awards is currently in the planning stages. We expect the event to happen this summer in Toronto.

Since 1999, the Urban Music Association of Canada has produced and hosted the Canadian Urban Music Awards. This gala show is an opportunity to celebrate the artists and behind-the-scene personnel who drive the urban music scene in Canada.

The CUMAs, UMAC's flagship event, is a significant entertainment brand for industry stakeholders, artists, fans and sponsors. The awards attract major media attention, which is a testament to the growing international profile of Canadian urban music and its stars.

Previous winners include a “who's who" of stars in Canada's urban music industry, including Oscar Peterson, K-OS, Michie Mee, Maestro, Shawn Desman, Molly Johnson, Keshia Chanté, Rascalz, Jully Black, Maestro, Carl Henry and many more!

The nominations submissions period for the 8^th Annual Canadian Urban Music Awards will be opened soon. The final nominees (up to five in each category) will be announced two months before the awards. The voting process for UMAC members (and the public for the Fan's Choice Award) will take place for a month prior to the awards show.
