The CARAS staff is available to assist with your submission questions while a dedicated team of tech reps at Yangaroo will be waiting by the phones to answer any technical issues.

If this is your first time accessing the site, you must click on the Sign Up link below in order to create your username and password. Your CARAS membership ID will not work here and you must create a new user ID each year as we do not keep your personal information on file.

You will need the following before you begin:

• Short artist biography (200 words)
• Electronic photo of artist
• Contact information for the publicist and manager (if applicable)
• For technical categories (Songwriter, Producer, Recording Engineer., Recording Package, Video & Music DVD) we will require signatures or email confirmation from the producer, director, etc. so we know they are aware you are submitting on their behalf
• A printer! Once you complete the online portion you will need to print out the required forms and send in with copies of your CD/DVD

Good luck in the upcoming cycle of nominating and voting. We hope to see you at the 2013 JUNO Awards in Regina, Saskatchewan.
