Presented by the Hamilton JUNOS Host Committee, the MusiCounts Industry Exchange is a new program that will bring together up to 10 educators and 10 emerging artists from the Hamilton area for a one-of-a-kind experience combining community-building, celebrating Canadian music, and hands-on music industry learning.

Successful applicants will attend The 2026 JUNO Awards, participate in an in-person music industry education experience, and stay connected through ongoing mentorship and collaboration. Together, artists and educators will explore how the Canadian music ecosystem functions, understand diverse music careers, and develop practical insights to support their classrooms, careers, and communities.
