Juno Awards to eliminate 4 categories from 2025 awards

The Juno Awards are pulling four categories from next year’s ceremony as part of a wider review of Canada’s biggest music awards show.

In a letter obtained by The Canadian Press, organizers told committee members last week of plans to put on “hiatus” reggae recording, children’s album, Christian/gospel album and international album of the year.

The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences says the decision is part of a “broader set of updates” yet to be announced.

Representatives for CARAS declined to comment on the changes.

All four categories were handed out in recent years at a non-televised industry ceremony on the night before the main Junos broadcast.

The 2025 Juno Awards are scheduled to take place in Vancouver on March 30.
