What are the Peer Awards?
Did you know The Peer Awards started before FoCoMX? In fact, the first festival was born out of a desire to see the bands that were nominated for this annual award show. That was 16 years ago! Today the FoCoMA Peer Awards are an annual event that continues to recognize and celebrate the achievements of musicians and music industry professionals. These awards are unique in that they are voted on by peers within the Northern Colorado Music Scene. The Peer Awards not only honor exemplary talent and artistry, but also promote a sense of community and camaraderie in our music scene.
