Celebrating the best music in media
The Music in Media Awards (MIMAs) were initiated by Buma Music in Motion to celebrate the very best music in film, television, radio, documentary, advertising and other media. We see so many beautiful national and international films, series, podcasts and games in which Dutch composers mesmerised audiences. That needs to be recognised and rewarded.
Sounds good, but what’s in it for me?
The Music in Media Awards are all about celebrating the best music in films, games, podcasts, radio, documentaries, advertising and television. A panel of experienced and professional judges from across the audio and visual industries will select the winners. If you’re a composer or musician, then this is your chance to represent the Dutch media music sector.
