Submissions for this year's JUNO Awards will be accepted starting October 1. The deadline this year is November 12th.

There is an early bird fee, which expires on October 22nd. After that date, fees increase.

The web site for complete submission information is www.junosubmissions.ca and you can also submit online (although as of the date of this press release - September 28 - the website has not been updated to show the 2009 information. You can also visit www.junoawards.ca)

The big news this year is that CARAS only requires 3 (three) copies of your CD. The judges will now access the submissions through the Digital Media Distribution System by Yangaroo.
