The awards will be presented throughout the week during Credit Union May Run Music Festival taking place May 14 - 17, 2015.

“We’re all really encouraged by submissions we’ve received and, as usual, blown away by the talent they showcase,” comments Andrew King, the Editor of Canadian Musician magazine and current President of Music PEI’s board. “Needless to say, we’re also excited about the increased scale and scope of Music PEI week for this year and the opportunities it will bring to the Island’s music fans, industry members, and most importantly, our artists. We all have a lot to look forward to. In my mind, May can’t come soon enough.”
