Faroese Music Awards (short form: FMA, in Faroese: Føroysku Tónlistavirðislønirnar) is a Faroese music prize, which was established in 2014, after the former Faroese music prize Planet Awards was abolished in connection with Portal.fo being sold to new owners. Faroese Music Awards is a cooperation between Kringvarp Føroya, the newspaper Sosialurin and the internet new portal In.fo and the Nordic House.
The Faroese Music Awards were handed for the first time on 15 March 2014 in the Nordic House in Tórshavn, where 22 prizes were handed. Faroese Music Awards was held for the second time on 14 March 2015; the categories were changed a bit.
