Juno Award for Songwriter of the Year (Non-Performer)

The Juno Award for Songwriter of the Year (Non-Performer) is an annual Canadian music award, presented by the Juno Awards to honour work by Canadian songwriters. It was separated from the still-extant Songwriter of the Year to better allow the Junos to distinguish between songwriters who perform their own material as singer-songwriters or members of bands, and songwriters who wrote material for other artists.

The award is presented based on the Canadian nationality, and may reward songs written for non-Canadian performers.

It was one of several new categories announced by the Juno Awards committee in fall 2024, and will be presented for the first time at the Juno Awards of 2025. ^[1]
