Submit today to be nominated for the Canadian Independent Music Awards ("The Indies")
The spirit and success of independent music is stronger and louder than ever. Hundreds of artists, who don't fit in with the ever-narrowing radio formats, are none-the-less breaking through to a hungry public and winning the support of fans, media and tastemakers across the nation. These artists are honored at the Canadian Music Week Festival (CMW) with the public presentation of the Annual Canadian Independent Music Awards show, simply titled "The Indies".
