ists and bands to acknowledge their artistic and technical achievements in all aspects of music. New members of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame

Record label owner Stan Klees
met with RPM founder Walt Grealis
to plan a formal awards ceremony for the music industry. Instead of merely publishing the award results in RPM, presentations would be made at a physical venue. The first official Gold Leaf Awards ceremony took place 23 February 1970 in Toronto
.
RPM invited its readers later that year to suggest a new name for these awards. The name "Juneau" was submitted, which represented Pierre Juneau
, the first head of the Canadian Radio-Television Commission. Juneau was instrumental in establishing Canadian content regulations for broadcasters, to promote Canadian artists. That name became shortened to Juno and by 1971, the awards ceremonies would be referred to as the "Juno Awards".
From 1970 to 1973, winners were published in RPM prior to the awards night after which the winners were not made public until the Juno ceremonies. Music industry representatives formed an advisory committee for the Junos in 1974 which became the Canadian Music Awards Association the following year. This organisation assumed full management and operation of the Juno Awards from 1977 and became the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences
(CARAS).
The Junos were first televised throughout Canada in 1975

In 2001, a second four-CD box set was released to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the awards. In 2006, a third box set was released to celebrate the 35th anniversary.
Broadcast rights to the Juno Awards were transferred from CBC to CTV
for the 2002 ceremonies. 2006 marked the first time the Junos were broadcast internationally through MTV2
in the United States and several affiliated MTV channels in other nations. The telecast of the 2006 Juno Awards was available to approximately 250 million people.
A Humanitarian Award was inaugurated in 2006. Bruce Cockburn
was the first artist to be given this honour.
At the 2007 ceremony, host Nelly Furtado
made Juno history by being the first nominee with multiple nominations to win every award for which she was nominated, including the two most prestigious honours, Album of the Year and Artist of the Year.

Following the close of the eligibility period, CARAS conducts an initial vote by its members to establish the list of nominees in most categories. The nominees for Album of the Year
and International Album of the Year
are determined by sales figures. The New Artist of the Year
, New Group of the Year
, Rock Album of the Year
and Pop Album of the Year
are determined by sales in conjunction with a jury vote. The Artist of the Year
and Group of the Year
nominations are determined by sales and a CARAS member vote.
After the nominees list is published, another voting round is conducted to determine the winners of most categories. Voting for the Juno Fan Choice Award
is open to the general public, while voting on general categories is limited to CARAS members. Winners in genre-specific or specialty categories are determined by specially-appointed CARAS juries.

The trophy was given minor modifications in succeeding years such as a size reduction for ease of handling, and changes to the inlay design such as a special 1996 emblem to signify the 25th anniversary.
In 2000, following criticism from producers that the existing award trophy did not have an attractive television appearance, CARAS commissioned a redesigned award from Stoney Creek, Ontario
artist Shirley Elford. After reviewing three designs, two of which were patterned after the existing trophy, a new trophy design was selected featuring a glass human figure surrounded by a nickel-coated spiral symbolic of a musical staff
situated on a base of aluminum. A few display statuettes were circulated for presentation during the ceremonies. Within months, winners received their personalized and individually-made trophies from Elford.
Elford had developed cancer and was no longer able to produce individual Juno trophies. In October 2010, CARAS announced a new design for mass-produced trophies which consists of a laser engraving
of Elford's Juno spiral figure within a transparent block.
