On May 3-5, 2019 and July 14, 2019, SaskMusic produced its fifth CCMIA Bell Media Canadian Songwriter Challenge. This year we maintained a similar structure as last year, and offered three different opportunities for songwriters to take part. On May 3-5, nine participants were selected by jury to participate in a weekend of learning, co-writing and recording with producer Ryan Andersen at the Recording Arts Institute of Saskatoon. We offered a workshop with Re:Sound (open to all SaskMusic Members) on Saturday, May 4 and opened that up to our general SaskMusic who could register to attend in-person or via webinar.
