Canadian Folk Music Award for French Songwriter of the Year
The Canadian Folk Music Award for French Songwriter of the Year is a Canadian award, presented as part of the Canadian Folk Music Awards to honour the year's best French-language songwriting. Unlike many songwriting awards, the nomination is given in consideration of all of the songwriting on a whole album rather than singling out individual songs. Awards are also presented for English Songwriter of the Year and Indigenous Songwriter of the Year.
