So lets see, we've got:
*Grammys
*American Music Awards
*Billboard Music Awards
for general music.
*Country Music Awards
*The Black Music Awards
for specific types
*People's Choice Awards
*Blockbuster Entertainment Awards
which honor music as well as other things.
See, all those programs instituted in schools and such that are designed to make nobody lose were just building on the precedent set by the music industry.
