Folk Canada is seeking jurors for both our 2025 Showcase applications as well as for the 2025 Ontario Folk Music Awards.
Jurors are chosen based on a variety of factors, including connection/history with the folk scene, industry experience, geography, skills, and more. Each year, we aim to have a lineup of jurors that represents the diversity and complexity of the folk music scene and its people.
IMPORTANT: Those that have applied to Showcase at the conference are ineligible to jury for showcase applications. In the same vein, those that apply for the 2025 Ontario Folk Music Awards are ineligible to jury for the awards.
The jurying process takes place completely online. In exchange for their time and expertise, each juror is offered a complimentary registration to the 2025 Folk Music Ontario Conference, October 15-19 in Ottawa, Ontario.
