European Borders Breakers Awards

The European Borders Breakers Awards (EBBA Awards) are the music awards for European artists who have proven to be successful in crossing borders with their first international release in Europe.

Every year the European Commission hands out ten EBBA Awards during a spectacular award ceremony at the European music Conference and Showcase festival, Eurosonic Noorderslag, which takes place in Groningen, The Netherlands. The ten winners are selected based on analysis by Nielsen Music and votes from EBU radio stations and ETEP festivals.
 
"Music is a universal language that touches billions of people, regardless of age or background. Our winners have all succeeded in reaching out to audiences beyond their home country through their talent and energy. I hope the awards will inspire other artists to take their music beyond their national borders and break into new markets," said Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth.”

Public voting is open from 1 November until 31 December 2011. Voting is possible through our website. Best however for your webiste and social media is to download a cvoting banner on this webpage
