All right, here we go! We’re gearing up for the 2026 NW-CMA Awards, and right now we’re gathering names and discovering the artists, bands, songs, venues, radio personalities, and others who made an impact on country music across the Northwest this year.

Soon we’ll be casting nominating ballots, narrowing the field, and then voting to choose the 2026 NW-CMA Award winners.

And on November 5, it all comes together at Spokane Live at Spokane Tribe Casino as we gather for the biggest night of the year in Northwest country music — and one heck of a party!

So strap in, boys and girls. It’s about to get fun!
