The LISTEN TO BERLIN: AWARDS recognise outstanding achievements in Berlin’s music scene. The awards focus on people, artists and projects that have made a particularly important and lasting contribution to the development of Berlin’s music scene in the previous year. They are awarded independently of commercial considerations and reflect the diversity of Berlin’s players. At the same time, the award ceremony is a platform for networking and exchange between many business representatives, artists and representatives of the public sector.
