Music Industry Awards
The MIA's, in full Music Industry Awards, are Flemish music prizes that are awarded by the VRT in collaboration with Music Centre Flanders. The prizes replace the ZAMU Awards, last awarded in 2006.
The abbreviation MIA is a wink to Mia, a song by Gorki.
The first MIA's were the 2007 MIA's, the winners of which were revealed on 30 January 2008; the show was broadcast by Eén two days later. There were twelve categories of award, nine of which were voted for by the public, the other three by the music industry itself. In 2007 the singer Milow from Leuven was the biggest winner, scooping three prizes.
At the second edition, on 6 February 2009, Milow was again the biggest winner. This time he took home five prizes, including those for best song and best male solo artist.
The third show (MIA's 2009) took place on 8 January 2010. Absynthe Minded and Daan (Stuyven) were the biggest winners. Absynthe Minded won the MIA's for Hit of the Year, best album, best rock/alternative and best band. Daan won the prizes for best male solo artist, best author/composer, best videoclip and best artwork.
In early December 2010 the VRT announced the nominees for the 2010 MIA's. The most nominated artists, with four or more nominations, were Stromae, Tom Dice, Bart Peeters and Admiral Freebee. The award ceremony was broadcast live on Eén on 7 January 2011. Stromae won the most important MIA, "Hit van het Jaar", as well as "Best Breakthrough". There was no clear-cut winner of the event. The most successful artists, all with two awards, were Stromae, The Black Box Revelation, Goose and Triggerfinger. Only at the 2010 show a MIA for "Kidspop" was awarded, with Kapitein Winokio as winner.
The 2011 Music Industry Awards ceremony took place on 10 December 2011. Milow and Selah Sue each took home three MIA's, and Gotye and dEUS two each.
The 2012 MIA's show took place on 8 December 2012. Also in this sixth edition the prizes were awarded during a live broadcast on Eén, this time presented by Peter Van de Veire and Cath Luyten. The biggest winner of 2012 was Triggerfinger. This band around Ruben Block won the awards in all four of the categories for which it was nominated. Triggerfinger won the most important MIA, the "Hit of the year", with the cover I follow rivers. They also won the awards for best group, best alternative music and best live-act. The prize for best album went to Balthazar for the album Rats.
