The best music industry awards, at BIME
During the week of BIME in Bilbao, three important awards ceremonies will take place:
– FEST Awards: this year they will celebrate their tenth anniversary.
– BIME Equity Awards: born last year by the hand of Amazon Music to recognize female and LGTBIQ+ talent by rewarding people who stand out for their career and future projection, as well as for their social commitment.

These awards have received artists such as Mumford & Sons, Dua Lipa, Zaz, Queralt Lahoz or Stromae and seek to promote the most promising artists in Europe, providing support in the development of their international careers.
