The most trusted recognition in music — judged by the people who built the industry.
Who We Are
Founded in 2012 in Manhattan, NYC. A jury of 50+ executives — each with 25+ years shaping the global music business.
What We Do
We recognize the agencies, labels, platforms, and people pushing music forward. Winners are unveiled every January.
Our Approach
Reputation, campaigns, digital footprint, and word of mouth — judged across a full year, not a single moment.
Join The Stage
We're opening doors for judges, performers, and brand partners ready to be part of the in-person ceremony.
Why It Matters
The Manhattan Music Awards for PR and Communications recognizes excellence in the PR and communications industry — specifically within music.
In a landscape that shifts by the week, the agencies and individuals steering the conversation deserve more than a hashtag. They deserve a stage.
This award acknowledges the brands, agencies, and people leading the field — those who turn campaigns into culture.
