Reporters on the art beat from newspapers, magazines, televisions, radios and online newspapers voted for the best artists and musical productions of 2016.

The awards will be given in nine categories, including best song, best album, best singer, best composer, new artist, best live music show, and best television music show. For the first time, there will also be the best producer of the year award.

Nominees for the new best producer of the year category include Khac Hung, Do Hieu, Hong Kien, Hoai Sa and Quoc Trung.
