Held in Detroit, Michigan, this two-day event brings together artists, industry professionals, and fans for an unforgettable weekend of recognition, networking, and performance.

From breakthrough musicians to legendary contributors, the MTA honors excellence across 16 categories—with winners determined by a combination of fan votes and expert judges. The weekend includes an industry conference featuring panels, keynotes, and networking sessions, culminating in a high-energy awards show with live performances and acceptance speeches.

This is more than an awards show. It's a movement. It's the Midwest taking its seat at the table.
