Editing Juno Awards (section)

==Award categories==

The "General Field" are awards which are not restricted by music genre.

*The [[Juno Award for Artist of the Year|Artist of the Year]] award is presented to the best individual performer.  
*The [[Juno Award for Album of the Year|Album of the Year]] award is presented to the performer, featured artists, songwriter(s), and/or production team of a full album if other than the performer.
* The [[Juno Award for Single of the Year|Single of the Year]] award award is presented to the songwriter(s) of a single song.
* The [[Juno Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year|Breakthrough Artist of the Year]] and [[Juno Award for Breakthrough Group of the Year|Breakthrough Group of the Year]] awards are presented to a promising breakthrough performer(s) who in the eligibility year releases the first recording that establishes their public identity (which is not necessarily their first proper release).

Other awards are given for performance and production in specific genres and for other contributions such as artwork and video. Special awards are also given for longer-lasting contributions to the music industry. Award names have changed through the years, most notably the switch in 2003 from the phrase "Best..." to " ... of the year".

Since 2015, Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Fan Choice Award are the only categories that are presented at every broadcast. The awards for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Breakthrough Group of the Year are customarily presented by the [[Minister of Canadian Heritage]].

Beginning with the 2016 ceremony, two new awards categories—[[Juno Award for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year|Contemporary Roots Album of the Year]] and [[Juno Award for Traditional Roots Album of the Year|Traditional Roots Album of the Year]]—were introduced to "ensure two genres of music are not competing against each other in the same category".<ref>{{cite web |year=2016 |title=42nd Annual Juno Awards: 2016 CARAS Quick Reference Guide to the Submission Process |url=http://junoawards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2016-Submissions-Guide1.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160203065157/http://junoawards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2016-Submissions-Guide1.pdf |archive-date=3 February 2016 |access-date=2 February 2016 |work=JunoAwards.ca |publisher=[[Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences]] |df=dmy-all}}</ref>
