On November 10th, 2015, the Manitoba Country Music Association will proudly be hosting the Manitoba Country Music Awards. Over the past few years it has been an ambitious goal of the MCMA board of directors to bring back the awards to Manitoba and once more bring the province’s large musical community together to celebrate and honour the wide scope of Manitoba talent.
The awards show will be held at our venue sponsor, the beautiful Park Theatre in Winnipeg, on Tuesday, November 10th and will feature the awards presentation as well as performances by various Manitoba country music acts. The event will be hosted by QX104, along with other special guests, hosts, and presenters.
Except those awards that are selected by the Board of Directors (such as the Hall of Fame Inductee), the MCMA Awards will be voted upon by the membership in a two stage ballot process. As this is our first year and we want to rally the community together as much as possible in order to bring awareness to the awards, the MCMA are accepting new members.
The membership is split in to two factions, Associate (Fan Only) members and Industry members. All MCMA members from both factions may participate in the first ballot process for this year and this year only and Industry members may participate in the second ballot process as of September 1st. Click here to learn more about MCMA memberships and to register as a member of the MCMA.
All final nominees are required to be Industry members of the MCMA as of September 1st, 2015, in order to be eligible to participate in the Second Ballot. Click here to view the Rules and Regulations for the MCMA Awards.
The MCMA is looking for sponsors and supporters of the event. If you are interested, or know of any individual, group, or business that maybe interested, please email the MCMA at
