Nominations Revealed, Fan Voting Opens for 2026 Digital Dance Music Awards

Fan voting for the 2026 Electronic Dance Music Awards is now officially open after the nominees were revealed.

Regarded as the nation’s preeminent electronic music award ceremony, the EDMAs annually takes place ahead of Ultra Music Festival at the height of Miami Music Week and hands out unique trophies resembling DJ decks, including a functional jog-wheel. The invite-only event is returning Friday, March 27th to a new venue, the storied Clevelander, a beloved South Beach staple known for its Art Deco design and lively ambiance.
