First announced and held in 2022, the Bizzy Awards is an industry-focused revamp of Music Biz’s past awards presentations, celebrating Association member companies & executives who are advancing commerce in our industry and working tirelessly to make it a better place to work! To honor the B2B nature of our organization, we’ve asked our member community to nominate themselves, their companies, their clients or their peers to recognize the important work they do.
Along with the crowdsourced Bizzys Awards, Music Biz also presents our Presidential Award for Outstanding Executive Achievement during the annual Bizzy Awards dinner. And click here to meet the winners from our inaugural Bizzys program in 2022.
