Abbotsford – Opportunities to be awarded Top Artist in each category and $10,170 are up for grabs once again with #FVMA22, the 7th annual Fraser Valley Music Awards. These are in conjunction with the UFV radio station , CIVL-FM.
(NOTE CIVL is still waiting to start building their new repeater in Chilliwack, In 2019 and again in 2021, CIVL FM received permission from the CRTC for a Chilliwack repeater. The station will take some time to set up but it will be broadcasting from Chilliwack on 92.3FM with 4600 watts. That is similar to the power that Star FM has. Star, The Drive and Kiss FM did not oppose the application. The 101.7 frequency in Abbotsford will remain on air.)
In addition to the 10 + categories through various genres, demographic and fan vote recognition opportunities, CIVL is teaming up with the Mission Folk Music Fest again this year! This means that one nominee will be selected at the Fraser Valley Music Awards on July 21st, 2022 to play at the 2023 MFMF!
Not convinced about the opportunity to win a cash prize and/or a guest spot at a community festival? #FVMA22 will be held at Jam in Jubilee in Jubilee Park in Abbotsford, which means that you can expect music fans from around the Fraser Valley to come out and support this popular, annual music event… And our nominees!
