In the short amount of time allotted, we worked hard to give a chance to an artist to compete in the Self-Produced CD category for the annual IBC held in Memphis. Today, the Montreal Blues Society is proud to announce the winner:
 
Guy Bélanger (Blues Turn)
 
We would also like to congratulate the runner-ups:
 
  • Steve Hill (Solo Recordings Vol. 2)
  • The Paul DesLauriers Band (The Paul DesLauriers Band)
 
We would also like to say thank you to our judges: John Detcheverry (CKUT), Michel Dubois (CKRL), Randy Renaud (CHOM), Jean-Pierre Petit (CKUT) and Yves Trottier (DAWG FM), who volunteered to participate in our selection process, and, of course the artists, who work hard all year long to provide us with quality music to enjoy.
 
Thank you all for your participation and support.
