INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS -

IT'S NOT JUST MUSIC

For the past 7 years, the Independent Music Awards, a unique, international program
that provides yearlong promotion, marketing and distribution opportunities for indie
releases, has helped indie artists overcome hurdles and achieve wider recognition and
distribution among music fans and industry insiders.

The IMAs recognize that there’s more to selling a record than just the music. That’s why
top honors are also awarded in 6 Design categories: Swag (Merch); Band/Venue Poster;
Album Packaging; Band Website; Label Website; Album Packaging & Photography.

The IMAs celebrate the very best in independent music and design with A-list judges
that have included: Tom Waits, Norah Jones, Peter Gabriel, Suzanne Vega,
Wynonna, Lou Reed, Ray Davies, Amy Ray, Melissa Etheridge, Aimee Mann,
DJ Spooky, Ben Folds, Robbie Fulks, Kelly Willis, among many others.
