“We are thrilled to partner with Neill and team at CMW for the 1st Annual Canadian Sync Awards. The GMSC is very proud to celebrate with the Sync community in Canada. The craft of music supervision is becoming increasingly important to all filmed media producers and directors and we are their humbled and passionate collaborators. We share the celebration with the superb licensing folks (and artists) across the country and around the world. We thank Neill for his initiative and shared vision with the GMSC and we look forward to the inaugural Canadian Sync. Awards.” – Michael A. Perlmutter, President, The Guild of Music Supervisors, Canada
“It’s an exciting year as we are delighted to celebrate the influence sync makes to the creative industry. Over the last few years, synch has blossomed into an integral part of the music industry, making up for the lost income on the lack of CD sales and other declining revenue streams. We are very pleased to have partnered with GMSC and have the support of GMS USA for the inaugural Canadian Sync Summit.” – Neill Dixon, President & CEO, Canadian Music Week
The Canadian Sync Awards are presented by CMW and GMSC.
