WHAT ARE THE TIMAs?
The Toronto Independent Music Awards are an indie awards ceremony, showcase series and seminar founded in 2004. The concept evolved out of a frustration for the lack of true support for independent musicians. The TIMAs serve as a platform to award and acknowledge up-and-coming independent artists regionally and locally. Our ultimate aim is to create an infrastructure to give independent artists a hand in ways that are actually useful by providing industry connected prizes and community support!
WHY SHOULD YOU APPLY FOR THE 2008 TIMAs?
- We gave away over $30,000 in INDUSTRY CONNECTED PRIZES LAST YEAR, and we are going to try to beat it THIS YEAR by $10,000!! We have SEVERAL MAIN PRIZES, and UNIQUE PRIZES that are geared towards genre categories. Stuff you can actually use!!!
- Check out our "OFF THE RADAR" TIMA 2008 Seminar READ ABOUT THE SEMINARS HERE
- We had over 35 different MAJOR and INDEPENDENT MEDIA at our showcases and at our awards date.
-If you are a selected winner, you not only receive a MAIN PRIZE and UNIQUE PRIZE, but you get to showcase your music in front of a SOLD OUT CROWD at the following award show to take place at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto.
- We have a team of INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL JUDGES that are trained in each genre category, judging is completely blind and all scores are compiled by Bonaccorso and Cancelliere accounting firm.
- With one application, you also get to showcase and compete for our "Best Live" Acoustic and Electric categories, with 3 industry professional judges at each show case to take place at Jeff Healey's Roadhouse.
