What a "Fantastic!" local achievement: In the Community Involvement category, CJAM 91.5 FM in Windsor won for the Fantastic! Pop Festival. Held in October 2000, the festival consisted of 36 bands playing in Windsor over the course of three days. Apart from promoting unsigned acts, the festival introduced the Windsor community to a variety of Canadian indie music. Enthusiasm from CJAM, musicians, local media, businesses and individuals made the festival a major success. Station manager Chantelle Japp reports that a second Fantastic! Pop Festival is in the works, having just reviewed 50 submissions from across Canada. The next fest will take place in October 11-13, 2001. You can check on CJAM's Fantastic! Pop Festival by pointing your web browser to http://fantastic_pop.tripod.com.
