Faroese Music Awards


Faroese Music Awards 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 is a cooperation between the Faroese national broadcasting company Kringvarp Føroya, the newspaper Sosialurin, the internet portal In.fo and the Nordic House.
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. The Faroese Music Awards ceremony were also held in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, normally in March of each year. The musical categories were changed after the original FMA event.
