Popprijs
The most relevant prize in Dutch pop music
Since 1986, the Popprijs has been awarded annually during Noorderslag. The Popprijs is awarded to the artist or band who has made an important contribution to Dutch pop music in the past year. Issues such as special artistic achievements, national and international success or a long-term career all play a role in this, but none of these are decisive: the final judgement is up to the jury.
The prize is an initiative of BV Pop and the Kunstenbond and is awarded by Buma Cultuur. Buma Cultuur supports and promotes Dutch music copyright in both the Netherlands and in the most important export markets for Dutch music (not necessarily in the Dutch language).
The 2022 winner of the Popprijs is Goldband
Goldband has won the Pop Award 2022. The prize consists of a check for 10,000 euros and a statuette by artist Theo Mackaay. According to the jury, Goldband made the biggest impact on Dutch pop music last year as the soundtrack of the postcorona-era, with performances full of energy, following its own artistic vision and success among a wide range of listeners.
Dutch band Goldband received the Popprijs 2022 during ESNS.
