In 1998, the initial DJ Awards commenced, striving to recognize the hardest working, and most talented DJ’s in the world. The non-profit organization focuses on celebrating all that the electronic dance music scene has to offer, rather than simply appointing victors. The ceremony, which takes place in the summertime hot-spot for dance music,  is one of the longest-running international award commemorations. This year, the Ibiza DJ Awards have selected winners ranging from 2014’s #1 DJ, Hardwell to Disclosure, Hannah Wants, all the way to Carl Cox.
Year after year, a prestigious and selected panel consisting of managers, promoters, record companies, PR specialists, venue owners, media specialists, and DJ’s, all strive to actively amass a list of categories and nominees that reflect the best electronic dance music has to offer. Although the task itself is a difficult one, the Ibiza DJ Awards have consistently recognized some of the greatest, and hardest-working individuals within the scene for the last seventeen years.
