Celebrating Music in Durham Region, the 2022 OMAs Take Place September 29th

Public Voting is Open Now - theomas.ca/

Under wraps no more, the Oshawa Music Awards have announced this year’s nominees! 

Marking its fifth year celebrating music in Durham Region, the 2022 OMAs are set to take place Thursday, September 29th, and will honour artists across multiple categories — including Songwriter of the Year, Album of the Year, Emerging Artist or Band of the Year, Durham Song of the Year, and Music Teacher of the Year, to name a few. 

Launched in 2018, previous Oshawa Music Award recipients include Shawn Mendes, Crown Lands, Tania Joy, Three Mile Islanders, Zaftig, Skye Wallace, Hollowsage, and Mogens Galberg; returning OMA winners Lindsay Schoolcraft and Gal George Gjurin are also up for 2022 nods. 

“Our list of 2022 nominees demonstrates once again that Durham Region is front row to so many incredibly talented artists,” OMA Co-Director Julius Allan Rondilla says. “Our arts scene is home to some of the nation’s best.”

“While celebrating and supporting local artists is important every year, and the reason we founded the OMAs in the first place, the 2022 award ceremony continues to hold special significance given the hurdles musicians have faced over the past years,” OMA Director Thao Nghiem adds. “Despite it, our creative industry is thriving and we were honoured to receive many wonderful submissions for the 2022 award season.” 

In its ongoing commitment to supporting local artists, the OMAs recently offered an unprecedented deadline extension, allowing musicians additional time to gather their submissions amidst the aftermath of the pandemic and its rippling impact. Further, the 2022 Oshawa Music Awards will again distribute Lifetime Achievement and Industry Leader awards, marking distinct work within the local community. 
Recipients of the 2022 Oshawa Music Awards for Lifetime Achievement and Industry Leader are set to be announced soon.
