They have a unique format where dozens of nominees and multiple winners are chosen for three main categories — music, album and rookie of the year.

Twenty artists have been nominated for Album of the Year and Digital Song of the Year, and 10 artists have been nominated for Rookie Artist of the Year.

The JoongAng Group is the awards ceremony's organizer.
