CASBY Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The CASBY Award is a Canadian award for independent and alternative music, presented annually by Toronto, Ontario radio station CFNY. The name CASBY stands for Canadian Artists Selected By You.

The awards were first presented in 1981 under the name U-Knows, a pun on Canada's mainstream Juno Awards. They were renamed the CASBYs in 1986, after a listener contest.
