NRJ Music Award


An NRJ Music Award is an award presented by the French radio station NRJ to honor the best in the French and worldwide music industry.
The awards ceremony, created in [|2000] by NRJ in partnership with the television network TF1, traditionally took place every year in mid-January at Cannes as the opening of MIDEM. It is now held in the month of November. They give out awards to popular musicians in different categories.
The name "NRJ" means "Nouvelle Radio des Jeunes". It is a play on words between the pronunciation of the French letters and the French word "énergie".
Val Kahl hosted and presented "Les Coulisses des NRJ Music Awards" Season 2011, 2012 and 2013 on NRJ12.

Award categories

Awards in the following categories are awarded to the musicians each year:
NRJ chooses 5 nominees in each category, and subjects them to online voting on their website. Subsequently, the winners are determined by a system where the public weighs in at 75% of the decision, and a jury established by NRJ and TF1 at 25%.
