Zamu Music Awards
The Zamu Music Awards was an annual awards show in Flanders, where the most outstanding Flemish and international musicians of the past year were honored.
The Zamu Awards were founded ZaMu. ZaMu was discontinued in 2006, but the organization of the Zamu Awards was taken over by Muziekcentrum Vlaanderen, under the name Music Industry Awards.
For most award categories, a jury of music journalists selects four nominees. The winners are voted by members of the Flemish music industry, such as musicians, managers and record labels. Exceptions are the awards for best song and best music DVD, where the votes of the public select the winner.
A special award is the Lifetime Achievement Award, given each year to an artist to honor his or her complete creative career.
