Buma Awards Music in Media 2020 – Nominees & Winners

The winners for the Buma Awards Music in Media 2020 were announced today, Tuesday, May 19th. Based on nine different categories, the 25-member jury has looked at the best music for film, television, radio, documentary and advertising, with three nominations for each category. In addition, new talent has been grouped through the presentation of the Buma Music in Motion New Talent Award.

 

The Buma Awards Music in Media are traditionally presented during the annual Buma Music in Motion event, which was going to be celebrated on 19 & 20 May 2020 in Amsterdam (Netherlands); an event forced to postpone its 10th edition to 2021, due to quarantine caused by the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic (read more).
