Music P.E.I. Week was capped off by Saturday night's awards gala, with a slew of artists and producers taking home some hardware.
Absolute Losers, Vishtèn Connexions and Dylan Menzie each won twice during the gala at Charlottetown's Confederation Centre of the Arts.
Vishtèn Connextions earned Album of the Year and Traditional Roots Recording of the Year for Expansion, a collaborative album with fellow Island entertainers.
Both the year's best single and pop recording went to Absolute Losers for By Fright and At the Mall, respectively.
Menzie was named Songwriter of the Year, while the album art for his North American Dream Kid was also honoured. That cover was created by graphic designer Niyi Adeogun and photographer Justin Rix.
