BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music
- BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music
The BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music is an award sponsored by BBC Radio 3, and given to world music artists annually since 2002.
The award was thought up by fRoots magazine's editor Ian Anderson, inspired by the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
Nominees are voted on by a 12-member jury, which selects the winners in each category (except for the Audience Award).
The ceremony is held at the BBC Proms and winners are given an award called a "Planet," which was designed by the Croatian sculptor Anita Sulimanovic in 2003. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/worldmusic/a4wm2008/planet.shtml]
