International Dance Music Awards


The International Dance Music Awards or IDMAs is an annual awards ceremony held in Miami Beach, Florida, United States as a major part of the Winter Music Conference. The awards have been held every year since the conference's creation in 1985 except for in 2017 when the conference was being bought out by Miami Music Week—the organisers of Ultra Music Festival.
