2026 JUNO Nominations

The nominations for the 2026 JUNO Awards have been announced and FACTOR is proud to report that 96 artists who are currently #FACTORfunded or recent program alumni have been nominated for 111 awards across 40 categories. This again demonstrates that FACTOR’s investment support contributes to the goals of artists’ careers, that of their teams in management, label, or publisher, and the events which grow and develop the Canadian-owned music industry.

FACTOR continues to present the Breakthrough Artist or Group of the Year category and this year’s nominees are Cameron Whitcomb, Goldie Boutilier, Jade LeMac, Jutes, MICO, Noeline Hofmann, Sacha, Saya Gray, Sofia Camara, and Yung Kai – seven of which are #FACTORfunded.
