The Italian Music Awards were an accolade established in 2001 by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry to recognize the achievements in the Italian music business both by domestic and international artists.{{Cite web | url = http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2001/gennaio/13/Italian_Music_Awards_sei_candidature_co_0_0101134296.shtml | work = Corriere della Sera| language = it | access-date = 16 December 2011 | title = Italian Music Awards: sei candidature per i Lùnapop, cinque per Carmen Consoli | author = Gloria Pozzi | date = 13 January 2001}}

The awards were given by an academy composed of 400 people, including music publishers, journalists, deejays, music producers, managers, retailers and consumers.{{Cite web | url = http://www.rockol.it/news-36394/A-novembre-gli-Italian-Music-Awards | publisher = Rockol.it | date = 19 September 2003 | access-date = 16 December 2011 | title = A novembre gli Italian Music Awards}}

The fifth edition of the awards was initially scheduled to be held in the end of 2004, but after being postponed in February 2004 and then in the Spring of 2004, it was canceled due to the lack of a broadcast agreement with the Italian TV networks.{{Cite web | url = http://www.rockol.it/news-67725/Italian-Music-Awards,-slitta-ancora-%28in-primavera%29-la-quinta-edizione-- | publisher = Rockol.it | access-date = 16 December 2011 | title = Italian Music Awards, slitta ancora (in primavera) la quinta edizione? | date = 20 December 2004}}
