The names of the winners will be unveiled at the awards ceremony on March 14 at the Teatro Circo Price in Madrid.

The MIN Awards were created in 2009 for the purpose of recognizing artistic creation, cultural diversity, new talent and quality productions published by the musical SMEs at the national level, and to promote independent music at the national and international level.
