Canadian Music Class Challenge 2022: the prizes

The prizes for this year's Canadian Music Class Challenge include thousands of dollars in gift certificates for instruments or any other audio products from Long & McQuade.

Here is a full list of our prizes:

• Eight first-place prizes of $3,000 in gift certificates will go to the top eight classes in each age category, as chosen by our judges, plus a gold-record plaque for the classroom or trophy case.
• The second- and third-place winners in each age category will also receive a gold-record plaque.
• $1,000 in new musical instruments will be awarded for the best performance of "Nikamo" in Cree, as chosen by our judges. (If your music class or classes perform "Nikamo" you should enter in the age-appropriate categories 1-8. However, all submissions of this song will also qualify for this prize.)
• $1,000 in new musical instruments will be awarded to the best music class from a community program, outside of a regular school curriculum, as chosen by our judges.
• $5,000 in new musical instruments will be awarded through our MusiCounts Passion Prize for the most spirited and fun-filled, joyous music performance, regardless of musical ability, as chosen by our judges.

What do you have to do in order to win?

• Submit a video of your performance of one of the songs on our list by Nov. 23, 2022.
