The city of Toronto is set to become the epicenter of Canadian Reggae and Dancehall music as Reggae North announces the opening of submissions for the highly anticipated 2024 Reggae North Music Awards (RNMA). Aimed at celebrating the talents of Canadian artists in these genres, the awards program promises to be a significant addition to the country’s musical calendar.

Starting from March 20, Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents, who have been residing in Canada for at least the last six months of the eligibility period, are eligible to submit their work. The call for submissions extends to producers, artists, managers, radio stations, publicists, executives, and record labels. Entries can be made through the official Reggae North website.
The awards will feature 16 diverse categories, including Male and Female Vocalists of the Year and Top Album/EP of the Year, showcasing the breadth of talent in the Canadian Reggae and Dancehall scene. To qualify, artists must have released a CD, video, or single available for retail or online sale in Canada between November 1, 2022, and November 1, 2023.
A highlight of the RNMA will be the Living Legend Award, which will honor an individual’s enduring contributions to Reggae music within Canada. This special accolade is a testament to the lasting impact of Reggae music and its pioneers in the country.
Mark Bennett, President of Reggae North, expressed his excitement about the awards, stating, “The RNMA is not just an awards ceremony; it’s a celebration of the rich and diverse Reggae and Dancehall culture in Canada. We are proud to provide a platform for these talented artists to be recognized and honored.”
