FACTOR Jury Training Sessions at Manitoba Music

Posted on

Jurors play an integral role in FACTOR’s approval process and without their support, the successful adjudication of
FACTOR’s applications would not be possible.

FACTOR jurors are volunteering members of the Canadian Music Industry. Their knowledge, expertise, and ability to 
interpret the current music landscape in Canada makes them best qualified to help FACTOR decide which applications are best suited for funding.

FACTOR believes that peer evaluation ensures a fair and transparent process and promotes appropriate representation across all provinces and musical genres.

How are Jurors selected?
FACTOR Jurors are valued for their experience within the Canadian Music Industry and areas of specialty, including
genres, industry, and artistic and professional focus. FACTOR jurors include artists, artist producers, artist managers, agents, promoters, record labels, publishers, publicists, radio DJs, etc.

Who can apply to be a juror?
Music industry professionals may be eligible to become accredited jurors provided that they meet the following
criteria:

  • They are a Canadian Citizen or a Permanent Resident
  • They have a minimum of 5 years of music industry experience, and have been active in the industry within the last 2 years.
  • They have confidence in their ability to make an objective assessment of a project based on the music and documents provided.

How can one apply to be a juror?
Potential jurors must fill out an online application form. This form can be found by going to factorjury.ca
and then by clicking on the “Apply To Be A FACTOR Juror” link. Once the application has been submitted, it will be
reviewed by a FACTOR staff member.
