Creative talent locally and across the north will once again be honoured this year.
The Northern Ontario Music and Film Awards (NOMFA), typically a biennial event, is returning for the first time in five years.
The awards and conference, which have been on hiatus since 2019, return June 27-29 in Sudbury.
“NOMFA has traditionally been a venue for Northern Ontario musicians and filmmakers to gather, network with fellow industry members and grow their careers, all while celebrating the successes of Northern Ontario’s music, film, and TV Industries,” says Patrick O’Hearn, CION’s Associate Executive Director. ”We can’t wait to finally bring this amazing group of talent together again once more.”
Submissions are now open in several award categories with filmmakers, actors, screenwriters, musicians, and sound engineers encouraged to send in their work.
Projects released between Jan. 1, 2022, and Dec. 31, 2023, and eligible.
Northern Ontario, as defined for the purposes of the Awards Program, comprises the territorial districts of Algoma, Cochrane, Kenora, Manitoulin, Nipissing, Parry Sound, Rainy River, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Temiskaming and the District Municipality of Muskoka.
The deadline is March 15.
