Award categories

The “General Field” are awards which are not restricted by music genre.

• The Artist of the Year award is presented to the best individual performer.
• The Album of the Year award is presented to the performer, featured artists, songwriter(s), and/or production team of a full album if other than the performer.
• The Single of the Year award award is presented to the songwriter(s) of a single song.
• The Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Breakthrough Group of the Year awards are presented to a promising breakthrough performer(s) who in the eligibility year releases the first recording that establishes their public identity (which is not necessarily their first proper release).

Other awards are given for performance and production in specific genres and for other contributions such as artwork and video. Special awards are also given for longer-lasting contributions to the music industry. Award names have changed through the years, most notably the switch in 2003 from the phrase “Best...” to ” ... of the year”.Since 2015, Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Fan Choice Award are the only categories that are presented at every broadcast. The awards for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Breakthrough Group of the Year are customarily presented by the Minister of Canadian Heritage.Beginning with the 2016 ceremony, two new awards categories—Contemporary Roots Album of the Year and Traditional Roots Album of the Year—were introduced to “ensure two genres of music are not competing against each other in the same category”.WEB, 2016, 42nd Annual Juno Awards: 2016 CARAS Quick Reference Guide to the Submission Process,junoawards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2016-Submissions-Guide1.pdf, live,junoawards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2016-Submissions-Guide1.pdf," title="web.archive.org/web/20160203065157junoawards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2016-Submissions-Guide1.pdf,">web.archive.org/web/20160203065157junoawards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2016-Submissions-Guide1.pdf, 3 February 2016, 2 February 2016, JunoAwards.ca, Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, dmy-all,

Criticism

The Juno Awards have received criticism from several Canadian artists.

Rascalz

In 1998, the Rascalz album Cash Crop was nominated for Best Rap Recording. Due to Canadian hip hop’s limited commercial notability, the rap award had never been presented during the main Juno ceremony, instead being relegated to the non-televised technical awards ceremony during the previous evening.This fact had previously been criticized for creating a barrier to the commercial visibility of Canadian hip hop. Rascalz, however, alleged that racism was a factor in the award’s disadvantageous scheduling, and became the first Canadian hip hop group to explicitly decline the award on that basis.“Kinder, gentler rap, eh? Canadians hip-hop onto centre stage” {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081022104623www.octopusmediaink.com/CitizenHipHop.html |date=22 October 2008 }}, Ottawa Citizen, March 7, 1999.Their move sparked considerable media debate about the state of Canadian hip hop. As a result of the controversy, the Juno Awards moved the rap category to the main ceremony the following year.

Matthew Good

Matthew Good has won four Juno Awards during his career, but has not attended the ceremonies in any of the years he won. In 2009, he criticized the awards for not promoting Canadian music at the grassroots level, saying, “When it ... isn’t kind of this weekend when the Canadian music industry pretends that it’s ... not just marketing warehouses for the United States, then sure, I’ll be a part of it.“WEB,www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/no-desire-to-celebrate-junos-says-musician-matthew-good-1.791022, ‘No desire to’ celebrate Junos, says musician Matthew Good, cbc.ca, 27 April 2018,

Kardinal Offishall

At the 2006 Juno Awards, Kardinal Offishall stated that he would not attend the Junos anymore. “I’m not going to be the Juno’s monkey no more, I’m not coming back any more.” Offishall cited Canadian hip-hop’s low profile at that year’s awards as the catalyst for his decision. Offishall further stated, “Really, to me it’s really atrocious what they do to hip-hop in this country and what they do for the artists... I just feel like the token hip-hop artist from Canada. For urban music in this country, I mean, not only was hip-hop not televised, but also reggae and R&B; to me, it’s sickening.” Offishall also criticized the Juno Awards for having the American group The Black Eyed Peas perform at that year’s ceremony. “I just had enough. They had me perform last night and give away the award — to me it’s all a farce, I really can’t put up with it anymore. It’s not even that it’s embarrassing, it’s just disappointing. It doesn’t matter what you do in this country, for me anyway, they don’t recognize what I do.
