The Urban Music People (often simply the UMP Awards) are major Malawi's urban music industry awards, established in 2015, and also include Fashion, and Media sister awards. Most of the categories are dichotomized into male and female. The ceremony is held annually, usually in late November or December, with the judging process starting in October of the same year. The nominations are typically announced at the end of September. The winners receive a gold-plated statuette.{{Cite web|url=https://malawi24.com/2020/09/30/ump-awards-to-be-held-on-december-19/|title=UMP Awards to be held on December 19 | Malawi 24 – Malawi news|date=September 30, 2020}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.nyasatimes.com/tag/ump-awards/|title=UMP Awards | Malawi Nyasa Times – News from Malawi about Malawi|website=www.nyasatimes.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://allafrica.com/stories/202009210562.html|title=Malawi's Top Entertainment and Arts Awards UMP to Be Held Virtually in December|first=Harold|last=Kapindu|date=September 21, 2020|website=allAfrica.com}}{{cite news|url=https://www.nyasashowbiz.com/ump-awards-add-new-categories/|publisher=nyasashowbiz.com|title=UMP Awards Add New Categories|date=December 8, 2015|archive-date=April 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170426221050/https://www.nyasashowbiz.com/ump-awards-add-new-categories/|last=Loka|first=Kimpho|url-status=usurped}}
