The submission deadline for the Fraser Valley Music Awards has been extended until April 11.
CIVL-FM originally set the deadline for March 31, and more than 200 musicians are currently represented in submissions from solo and band performers.
The submission form and information about the event can be found at civl.ca/fvma.
As a thank you to FVMA applicants, those who RSVP to fvma@civl.ca are invited to join the Last Class Bash on Friday, April 8 at Townhall Public House in Abbotsford and be eligible to win a Joseph Richards Group gift card for an eight-person dinner.
After the submission deadline, FVMA jurors will evaluate the submissions to determine the 2016 FVMA nominees. The FVMA Compilation Album and the #FVMABattle of the Bands lineup will then be determined.
A nomination ceremony and press conference will announce the final list of nominees in late April,
with the main event taking place July 16 in Abbotsford.
One FVMA winner will be awarded a spot to play at this year’s Penticton Peach Festival in August, which will be headlined by classic Canadian rockers Chilliwack.
