The Canadian Folk Music Awards have officially crowned all their 2021 winners.

This weekend, the 16th annual edition of the awards were presented during a livestream broadcast. With the help of hosts Jean Hewson and Benoit Bourque, 19 awards were handed out, as well as the presentation of the Slaight Unsung Hero Award to Winnipeg's Ava Kobrinsky.

Big winners from the event included Pharis and Jason Romero, William Prince, Noah Derksen and Coco Love Alcorn, among others.

Down below, you can see the full winners list.

It's also been announced that the 2022 CFMAs will be held in Charlottetown — this time hopefully IRL.
