Because The Independent Music Awards is all about championing Indie bands, we are continually enhancing all facets of The IMA program.

So in addition to an incredible line-up of judges and new program partnerships that will help us present The 9th IMA winners to more than
50 million new fans, performance, distribution & licensing opportunities, we've been busy upgrading The IMA site to keep the spotlight on our independent community.

New features include:

And meet artists who have submitted to The 9th Annual IMAs.
