The Northern Ireland Music Prize is an annual awards night curated by Oh Yeah to recognise and celebrate the incredible and diverse talent we create. With categories such as Album of the Year supported by PPL as well as Live Act of the Year, and the Oh Yeah Legend Award, the NI Music Prize is our music scene's biggest night. 

It is the flagship event of our annual Sound of Belfast Festival, taking place in the iconic Ulster Hall.
