The nominations are mainly divided into two categories – Industry-based and Artist based. While the industrial portion of IDMA includes the commercial bracket like Best Streaming Service, Best DJ Equipment Manufacturer, Best YouTube Channel, etc, the artist-based categories go deep into the discrete genres of electronic music.

In the Best Album category, Avicii’s TIM will be up against some decent competitors, including Illenium’s ASCEND and Gryffin’s GRAVITY. Moreover, the Belgian duo of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike will be keen on adding another feat to their collection after successfully climbing on the top spot of DJMag last year, However, they will face tough competition from the likes of Calvin Haris, Marshmello, The Chainsmokers, and the winner from 2019 – Martin Garrix.
