Musimagen (The Association of Musical Composers for Audiovisual Projects) and Fimucité (The Tenerife International Festival for Music for Cinema) are organising the Fifth Spanish Audiovisual Project Music Awards.
These awards are the only of their kind presented in Spain, as voted by audiovisual composers, and, year after year, we strive to offer the biggest audiovisual music awards ceremony on the national scene.
The fact that the awards are given during the FIMUCITÉ festival allows the winners to gain considerable professional recognition on a global scale.
In this Fifth Edition, the awards are available to all musical compositions created for Spanish audiovisual projects.
Votes will be cast by Certified Electronic Vote. All Musimagen members will have the option to vote. The names of the recipients in each category will be announced publicly on Monday, July 25th on the Musimagen website, across all of our official social media and in the press.
