The IAMA (International Acoustic Music Awards) has stood as the preeminent award for musicians, excellence, and acoustic artistry for the last twenty-two years of operation. Acoustic artists in various genres can gain exciting radio and web exposure through the competition. In its 22nd year, IAMA has a proven track record of winners going on to get signed and hit the Billboard Charts.
Meghan Trainor was discovered by IAMA eleven years ago and is now a global superstar with #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts with "All About That Bass" (#1 for 8 weeks) and #1 on The Billboard 200 Charts with her debut album "Title", won for a Grammy award for Best New Artist in 2016. Meghan has a staggering 11 songs so far on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts so far, enough to release a "Greatest Hits Album" in her young music career.
Other artists, like the IAMA 21st year winner Charlie Parr, have gone on to say, “It’s truly wonderful to receive an award and be acknowledged for doing something I’m passionate about."
Participating sponsors include Acoustic Cafe and Sirius XM Satellite Radio as well as groups like PreSonus, New Music Weekly, and Loggins Promotion. Artists have the opportunity to win awards in eight different categories: Best Male Artist, Best Female Artist, Best Group/Duo Folk, Americana/Roots/AAA, Instrumental, Open (any musical style or genre), Bluegrass/Country, etc. There will also be an Overall Grand Prize winner awarded to the top winner worth over $11,000 US, which includes radio promotion to over 250 radio stations in the US and Canada.
