The Inspur Music Awards is an annual music selection project initiated by the "Inspur Jury", and the judging lineup is composed only of professional creators, covering production, lyrics, composition, arrangement, singing, recording, mixing, mastering, MV director, visual design and creative artists. So far, there are more than 300 members of the Inspur jury.
This year's Inspur Music Awards not only inherited the lineup of judges from the previous session, but also absorbed new judges such as Fang Wenshan, Wang Zheng, Zhang Yilin, Liu Lian, Huang Jianyi, Xiao Jun, GALI, Dong Yufang, and Zhou Ziyan. The awards maintain 35 honors in seven categories, covering singers, behind-the-scenes, multi-genre and multi-language, encouraging the diverse and colorful growth of Chinese music, with the goal of establishing "the highest artistic level of music" and the quality of works as the only selection criterion, aiming to create a professional, fair and authoritative annual music award in the Chinese music industry.
