The Northwest Country Music Association Awards is an annual celebration of the artists, venues, broadcasters, industry professionals, and supporters who keep country music thriving across the Northwest.

Each fall, NW-CMA members nominate and vote for the individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to our regional music community. From performers and songwriters to radio personalities, dance instructors, and live music venues, the awards recognize excellence at every level of the industry.

The awards show itself is more than a ceremony—it’s a night of live entertainment, community, and celebration. Many of the nominees take the stage throughout the evening, showcasing the incredible talent that exists right here in the Northwest. As performances unfold, winners are announced live, creating unforgettable moments for artists and fans alike.

Whether you’re a performer, industry professional, or simply a fan of great country music, the NW-CMA Awards is a chance to come together and celebrate the people who make our regional music scene so special.
