The awardee will be selected by a committee composed of the members of the EMA General Council. The award consists of a certificate, a medal, a monetary award of €3,000, an invitation to the next JEMS to attend the award ceremony and present a plenary talk, and a travel allowance of €500 for that purpose. The Dominique Givord Award for Advancing Magnetism in Europe is awarded every three years to an outstanding Scientist (or scientists), who has significantly helped to push forward magnetism research and the magnetism community in Europe. 2023: Samuel Mañas-Valero for his groundbreaking contributions to molecular magnetism in the two-dimensional limit, isolating 2D molecule-based magnets, and 2D hybrid heterostructures combining molecular spin-crossover layers and inorganic 2D materials.2022: Jan Masell, for his ground-breaking theoretical studies on the stabilization, dynamics, and potential applications of topological magnetic textures and related novel transport phenomena, his innovative contributions to more efficient numerical micromagnetics, and his continuous collaboration with experimentalists on a broad international level.2021: Libor Šmejkal, for ground-breaking theoretical predictions of novel spin-splitting mechanisms and antiferromagnetic Hall effect in collinear antiferromagnets, which have ignited the emergent field of topological antiferromagnetic spintronics.2020: Claire Donnelly, for advances in the experimental characterization of spin textures and their dynamics in three dimensions with X-ray techniques.

Nominations for female candidates are encouraged. Nominations may be made by anyone interested in the field of magnetism. The award consists of a certificate, a medal, a monetary award of €2,000, an invitation to the next JEMS to attend the award ceremony and present a plenary talk, and a travel allowance of €500 for that purpose. The nominated candidate must have defended the doctorate no more than five years before the nomination date, with allowances for military service and parental leave. As for Japan, there will be five nominees annually, and the one that received the highest vote from music fans will be awarded a trophy praising its achievements as the winner of the Best Japan Act award.The Young Scientist Award is awarded every year to a young scientist, for theoretical or experimental work performed mostly in Europe, in fields of fundamental or applied magnetism. The Best Local Act awards, which make one of the major features unique to the MTV EMAs, are awards to the best artists from all over the world, decided by audience’s votes. In addition, some of the awards spotlight popular local artists from each country, which is also a highlight unique to the MTV EMA. The awards created by MTV and the audiences together directly reflect the review of music fans, therefore it becomes a great honor for the artist to win the award at the EMA. EMA has always been held as “music awards chosen by fans,” with winners decided by the votes from the MTV audiences around the world.

Although with the name of “Europe Music Awards,” the awards feature top artists from all over the world beyond the geographical boundaries of Europe and have gained tremendous support from music fans. First held in Berlin, Germany in 1994, MTV EMA is one of the largest music awards in Europe, held annually in various European cities, and last year in Seville, Spain. The MTV EMA (Europe Music Awards) was originally conceived as an alternative to the MTV VMA (Video Music Awards), which is hosted annually in the United States. Sakurazaka46 won the Best Japan Act from the Best Local Act awards at this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards, one of Europe's largest music awards that was held at László Papp Budapest Sports Arena in Hungary on Monday, November 15th, JST!
