Faroese Music Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Faroese Music Awards (short form: FMA, in Faroese: Føroysku Tónlistavirðislønirnar) is a Faroese music prize award ceremony, which was established in 2014, after the former Faroese music prize Planet Awards was abolished when the producers Portal.fo were sold to new owners. Faroese Music Awards honours Faroese music, singers, musicians, composers etc. and is a cooperation between the Faroese national broadcasting company Kringvarp Føroya, the Nordic House in Tórshavn and others like the Miðlahúsið (Sosialurin and the internet portal In.fo).[1]

The Faroese Music Awards were presented for the first time on 15 March 2014 in the Nordic House in Tórshavn, where 22 prizes were awarded.[1] The Faroese Music Awards ceremony have been held every year since then, normally on a Saturday night in early March. The musical categories have been changed several times since the first FMA event.
