Armenian Music Awards is an annual music awards ceremony held at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California. The first ceremony took place on October 7, 1998. . It was created by Peter Bahlawanian who wanted to support Armenian artists and make Armenian culture more mainstream.

The show's production rights have been licensed out to EyeFlash Production inc. The awards consist of several categories of varying 20 to 30 from year to year. Artists also perform live throughout the evening.

The nominees and winners are decided by a panel of judges who listen to CDs or MP3s online compilations prior to the night of events. There are, however, some categories that are voted by the general public. Votes are cast thru online voting locations. Also SMS voting has been introduced this year. The categories that are voted by public are Best Song of The Year, Best Duet Song of The Year, and Best Male & Female Artist of The Year. [ [http://www.myanush.com MyAnush.com] ]
