From today onwards, we’ll be highlighting the programme of the BMIM Conference 2026 step by step!

We kick off with Find Your Voice: From Creative Identity to a Pitch that Lands, a hands-on workshop by Natalia Forster (Founder, .isvoice ). In this session, you’ll work on defining your creative identity: from your values and positioning to crafting a clear one-liner and an elevator pitch that sticks.

A must for anyone looking not only to create great music, but also to communicate it with confidence.

The MIMAs 2026 brought together an incredible mix of composers, creators and collaborators: all contributing to the sound of stories across film, series, podcasts, games and beyond. It was inspiring to see how music is increasingly shaping the narrative in media: a big thank you to everyone who was there, on stage and behind the scenes, for making it such a special evening.

With just one week to go until the MIMAs, the countdown has truly begun. We’re busy putting the final touches in place for an evening dedicated to celebrating the very best in music for media: from film and series to podcasts and beyond.

We’re very much looking forward to bringing everyone together and celebrating the craft, collaboration and creativity that define our field. See you next Thursday! ✨

Acclaimed multi-talent, former MIMA winner, and last but not least: all-round good guy. The sharp souls among us figured it out already, but now it’s time to share the news out in the open. We’re very excited to announce as our host for this year’s award show!

Blanks brings both musical expertise and infectious energy to the stage. Having experienced the awards from the inside, he knows exactly what it takes, and how to celebrate it. With his musical chops and natural charisma, he’s the perfect person to guide us through a night celebrating the very best in music for media.

April 16th, where the music meets the moment.

Two weeks until the MIMAs. On 16 April, we bring it all together at LIEF Amsterdam, after months of submissions, listening sessions and deliberation. The night where all those tracks, scores and sound worlds come together on one stage.

Over the past months, we’ve been building towards this moment. From the first submissions, to the jury sessions, to revealing every category and nominee one by one. Got an invite? We’ll see you there. 👀

PS: There’s a little easter egg hidden in this video… recognise the work?

The spotlight is almost on 🔦

And let’s just say… our host won’t leave you blank… 👀
