Canadian Country Music Association Adds Francophone Artist of the Year Category for 2025

"The addition of the Francophone Artist of the Year category is a significant step forward in celebrating the diversity within Canadian country music," says Amy Jeninga, CCMA President.

The inaugural award will be presented during Country Music Week in Kelowna, B.C. this September. It marks a milestone addition for the CCMA Awards, recognizing both the increasing impact of Francophone artists in Canadian country and the popularity of country music in Quebec.
