History
The EDMAs first began as a niche remix award show called the Radio Remix Awards supported by iHeart Radio, which were held annually for five years beginning in 2016. The first two ceremonies took place at the W Hotel in Miami, Florida during Ultra Music Festival and Miami Music Week on March 23–24, 2016 and 2017. Following a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the awards re-branded themselves with the name Electronic Dance Music Awards and this time focused into covering more EDM genres. The 2023 EDMAs took place in Miami at an exclusive, industry invite-only pool party from the legendary Fontainebleau Miami Beach on March 24, coinciding with the first day of Ultra Music Festival the awards will be presented Hotel. The event is held annually in March at the Eden Roc Miami Beach Hotel in Miami during the Ultra Music Festival / Miami Music Week.Awards process
From 2016 to 2019, winners were originally determined based on two factors: North American radio airplay and best sound production judged by resident DJ's nationwide. Since 2022, the awards re-launched themselves as a completely fan-voted award show. Voting for the first EDMAs began in May and ended on June 17, 2022. For the second EDMAs nominations were announced on February 27, 2023. The full list of nominees for the third EDMAs were announced on February 19, 2024.Ceremonies
