# MTV Romania Music Awards

The MTV Romania Music Awards (Romanian: Premiile Muzicale MTV România) have been held since 2002 celebrating Romanian music. Recipients of the awards have been Eurovision contestants and some have gone on to represent Romania in the competition. The awards were usually held in June. Since 2008 the show was cancelled.
