History
The first award ceremony was held as TVZ Awards in 1994, with five categories.[3] In 1998, the award changed its name to Multishow Brazilian Music Awards.[4][5] From 1999, the winners, who were previously chosen by phone voting, were selected via the internet.[6] Since 2011, the award has had a specialized jury of the music industry experts who determine the winners in the technical categories.[7][5]
Multishow Award Academy
The Multishow Award Academy was established in 2019 to define the nominees for the award categories, bringing greater balance between the music industry's perspective and popular voting.[8] Composed of professionals such as journalists, critics, record label representatives, streaming platforms, and other specialists from all regions of Brazil, the Academy grew significantly in 2023, with over 900 members. With this expansion, the Academy began defining the nominees in 23 categories and choosing the winners in 17 of them, ensuring greater diversity in terms of gender, race, color, and musical style.[9]
