MUSIC PEI PRESENTS: JURY DUTY We’ve been hearin

MUSIC PEI PRESENTS: JURY DUTY

We’ve been hearing some rumours of favouritism surrounding our selection process for awards, grants and programs, and we want to do what we can to clear it up!

Music PEI’s decision process for the Music PEI Awards, Investment Program, Artist Development Programs and more are adjudication-based which means that decisions are made by jurors from the music industry from all across Canada and the world. Jurors are rarely drawn from individuals actively working in PEI’s music industry because it can be difficult to retain impartiality with such a small community. To make it even more airtight, jury members are required to sign a conflict of interest form and disclose any conflict of interest when assessing a project.

Once you’ve submitted your application, Music PEI staff review it to determine if it meets the program’s basic eligibility requirements. All eligible applications are then reviewed by an assessment jury of approved jurors who have been assembled by Music PEI.

Jurors are instructed to use their best judgment when scoring, applying criteria fairly within the context of each project’s style and genre. This preparation ensures they are equipped to assess applications thoroughly and uphold Music PEI’s commitment to supporting artists and developing the Island’s music industry.

Golden Ticket & Diverse Voices
And more!

Your feedback goes straight to Music PEI staff to directly inform future program structure, priorities, and delivery for the next three years.
