The next generation of international music awards - PBIMA is a global music and video hub that enables musicians and artists to have their best work recognized by a global audience of music fans.

PBIMA gives artists the opportunity to introduce their work to a whole new audience - music fans in different countries and demographics - and also to have their work reviewed and endorsed by some of the most respected and experienced names in the music industry.

The PBIMA judging panel consists of the most experienced and accomplished musicians, writers, and producers in the industry. These judges are superstars and pioneers - with dozens of GRAMMY, EMMY, and Billboard awards combined, as well as many platinum and gold records and TOP 10 hits from across the globe. These artists have millions of fans and have performed to sold out shows around the world.

Our judging panel includes: Al Di Meola, Arturo Sandoval, Jon Secada, Carlos Oliva, Diego Torres, Leonid Agutin, Jimmy Rosenberg, Richard Bravo, Angelica Maria Varum, Orlando "Maraca' Valle, Slava Moroz-Gutman, Mikhail Reva, Tasula Mia, and Harold Ortiz, Frantisek Brikcius, and Hobart Earle.

When you receive an award from this prestigious panel of judges, it will be truly meaningful, validating all of the effort and dedication you put into creating your best work!
