Awards Ceremony and Showcase tickets will also be sold at Records on Wheels.

On May 1^st, MFM will host the seventh annual Northern Ontario Music and Film Awards Ceremony, in the Great Hall at Laurentian University. The award ceremony will recognize the efforts and showcase the talent of the Northern Ontario’s music and film industries by featuring award presentations, live performances and movie clips.

The grassroots industry conference will take place from April 29^th to May 1^st at the Quality Inn.  An additional day has been included this year in order to expand the Perspectives Program which focuses on Francophone and Aboriginal youth.  The goal of this conference will be to create practical skills development and networking opportunities for all participants. The event will include a networking lounge for participants and industry guests to interact with one another, listening and viewing stations where participants may sample works nominated in the Awards program, as well as skills development programming such as seminars, workshops and panel discussions. This grassroots industry conference is MFM’s key skills development activity, allowing MFM to make the most effective use of its resources and industry connections.

There will also be an Official Talent Showcase.  This year, the showcase will consist of two separate programs, a Music Showcase at the Townehouse Tavern and Film Showcase at Rainbow Cinemas which will both take place on the evening of April 30^th.  These two events will highlight the music and films from this year’s official awards nominees, enabling us to turn the spotlight firmly on these talented groups and individuals.
