A. Eligibility Requirements:

• The eligibility period of submitted projects for the 2024 YYC Music Awards must have release dates between March 1, 2023 and February 29, 2024. This time frame will be strictly enforced, and we will not accept submissions for materials released outside this time frame. ** Nominees for the 2023 awards may not submit the same nominated project.
• "Release date" for YYCMA purposes is defined as the date of the first shipment to retail, radio or posted online release date. Proof of online transaction or shipment may be requested. This applies to all submissions whether single, album or video! (Prophets of Music Emerging Artist category is excluded from this requirement.)
