The Music in Media Awards, organised by Buma Music in Motion, honour the best music in film, series, documentaries, podcasts and other media formats each year. The tenth edition took place at LIEF Amsterdam and brought together more than 200 industry professionals.
Beau Zwart won in the Documentary category for Fortuyn: On-Hollands. Guido Maat was recognised in the Advertising category for his music for EeStairs – Twisted Passion. In addition to the winners, several other alumni of HKU Music and Technology were nominated: Arjen Jongeneel, Wouter van den Boogaard, Dennis Jonker, Alexander Moes, Alexander Reumers, Daan Pleijers, Justin Welgraven, Wilferd Geerts, Tico Pierhagen, Roel Slootman and Jules Schattenberg.
The evening also featured several other prominent winners. Dutch songwriters Eefje de Visser and Eva Crutzen received awards for their work, while the lifetime achievement award went to composer Vincent van Warmerdam.
The Music in Media Awards are an initiative of Buma Music in Motion. This division of Buma Cultuur brings together composers, directors, music supervisors and other music decision-makers, highlighting the crucial role of music in media productions. It does so through events, an annual conference and the awards, as well as by maintaining an active presence at festivals and industry gatherings such as the Netherlands Film Festival, International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam and Amsterdam Dance Event.
