Somewhat earlier than in the past years, we are launching the call to find the music journalist of the year and the year's best works of music journalism 2020, because we want to give the musicjournalistic works, which have been released in fall and winter, a better starting position. So from now on you can suggest great works right after you have read or heard them. Submissions are accepted until 31 May 2020.

Submit your proposal now!

Can think of someone who would deserve this award as much as the winners of 2019 (photo)? Who has helped you understand music better? Where do you go to find the best background information? Which format has been most exciting in the last year?

For the forth time, the International Music Journalism Award is to be awarded at Reeperbahn Festival 2020. Ceremony will take place on Friday, 18 September. Save the date!
