Elijah Woods x Jamie Fine from Season 1 of The Launch earned nominations for Fan Choice and Breakthrough Group of the Year.

Special thanks to the JUNOS, we’re so excited to be a part of the celebration this year."
Most of the Junos will be handed out at an industry dinner on March 16. A handful will be given out during the March 17th live broadcast from Budweiser Gardens in London, Ont., which will be hosted by Sarah McLachlan.
"I am very honoured and happy to be a part of it,” McLachlan said at Tuesday’s press conference.
