==Contests, events and features==
===CASBY Music Awards===
{{Main|CASBY Award}}
In 1981, on the program director David Marsden's initiative, CFNY launched the annual U-Know Awards (U-Knows) as a way of recognizing Canadian alternative musical acts ignored by the Top-40 focused mainstream [[Juno Awards]]. Following a listener contest in 1986, the ceremony was renamed the CASBY Awards - an acronym for Canadian Artists Selected By You (originally, Chosen As Selected By You). The event, presenting awards to Canadian musicians who have won the most votes from listeners, was held every year until 1996.

The CASBY Awards were then revived in 2002 and held annually until being discontinued following the 2017 edition.

===Edgefest===
{{Main|Edgefest}}
Began in 1987 and founded by CFNY-FM staffers Kneale Mann, Earl Veale, and Phil Evans as a thank-you gesture to the listeners and as a birthday party to commemorate both the station's tenth birthday and [[Canada Day]]. Since then, it has spanned 30 years, more than 300 bands, over 500,000 attendees, and five locations; [[Park Place (Ontario)|Molson Park]] in [[Barrie]], [[Ontario]], the [[Ontario Place (theme park)|Ontario Place]] Forum, the [[Molson Amphitheatre]], [[Downsview Park]], and most recently at TD Echo Beach. It was the longest running rock festival in Canada.

===Edge Free Money===
Edge Free Money, originally known as Free Money Month, is a call-in contest run by the station. Every day for a given period of time, a band is selected as the Edge Artist of the Day. The first time that this artist is played on-air, listeners may begin calling in. The 102nd caller to get through wins $1000 from the station.  In 2011, Free Money Month actually spanned three months: September, October, and November.

===Jingle Bell Rock===
Since 1998, the Edge has run an annual concert series in December of each year. From 1998 to 2008, it was known as the Edge Electric Christmas. Starting in 2009, it began to be billed as Jingle Bell Rock. It is a series of several concerts which are generally in smaller concert venues, although playing in large venues is not unheard-of. A percentage of proceeds from ticket sales are donated to the [[Daily Bread Food Bank]].

===Rock of Fame===
The station launched its own hall of fame for notable musicians in summer 2011. This initiative is now defunct as it relied on Dave "Bookie" Bookman's presence in the radio and music industries.

===Sausagefest===
A yearly event which had been held since the start of the ''Dean Blundell Show'', Sausagefest was a summertime backyard barbecue-style event which was typically held at the [[Sound Academy]] venue and emceed by the hosts of the show. It featured artists and bands (different each year) performing on the stage inside, while drinks and barbecued food were sold outside. The final Sausagefest was held in the summer of 2012.
