Organizers of the JUNO Awards will eliminate four categories from next year's ceremony, including Reggae Recording of the Year.

A letter obtained by The Canadian Press reportedly points to plans to put reggae recording, children's album, Christian/gospel album and international album of the year honours on "hiatus"

The move reportedly comes as part of a "broader set of updates" yet to be announced by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS). Representatives for CARAS declined to comment to CP on the changes.

In recent years, all four aforementioned categories were awarded as part of a non-televised ceremony held the evening before the primary JUNO Awards broadcast.

The 2025 JUNO Awards will take place in Vancouver on March 30.
