PRS at the 2024 CCMAs

For the last five years, PRS Guitars has been a proud sponsor of the Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMAs). With this year’s festivities in Edmonton, Alberta rapidly approaching in September, PRS is preparing to resume its ongoing partnership with the CCMAs. PRS has been the CCMA’s exclusive guitar sponsor overall. Additionally, PRS will continue to sponsor the Guitar Player of the Year Award, providing the lucky recipient with a new instrument. Past winners have included PRS artists Brennan Wall, who won last year and Matt McKay who took home the award in 2019, 2020 and 2022!

As part of Country Music Week, Sirius XM Canada will be presenting the "Top of the Country" competition. Finalists from previous years include PRS artists, Shantaia, Josh Ross, Teigen Gayse, and 2023’s big winner Hailey Benedict.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with the Canadian Country Music Association and further expand our ability to work with some of Canada's top country artists,” says Bev Fowler, Director of Artist & Community Relations. “It is truly an honor to witness their music careers evolve and flourish.”
