Celebrating the best in Canadian screen composing
Now in its fifth year, the Canadian Screen Music Awards (CASMA) is an annual celebration of composer’s excellence in scoring original music for the screen. Launched and administered by Screen Composers Guild of Canada, these awards are open to all Canadian and permanent resident composers with winners chosen by the SCGC’s roster of judges.
The CASMAs aim to honour these composers for their outstanding work in media and screen-based industries. These accolades are the first to be juried and awarded by fellow screen composers in Canada.
In 2026, nominations for musical works were being considered in 13 categories covering feature film, television, animation, documentary, games and interactive media.
