DMDS Awards™ is an end-to-end solution, streamlining all aspects of award show management including nomination management, committee review, voting, results tabulation, and auditing.

Melanie Berry, President of CARAS representing The JUNOS said upon signing: "The technology is not only more efficient and less expensive, but it also poses clear environmental benefits. The Canadian Music Industry was the first in the world to embrace digital delivery for their promotional releases to radio and other destinations, and it just follows that the JUNO Awards should be the first major televised awards show to adopt this same technology."
