Hosted by Femme House, the second annual awards event will happen March 26 during Miami Music Week.
After a buzzy launch last spring, the Femmy Awards are scheduled to return to Miami Music Week next month.
Created and produced by Femme House, the nonprofit co-created by LP Giobbi and Lauren Spalding to foster diversity and representation in dance music, the Femmys will again take place at Miami’s Palm Tree Club. The awards event will happen Thursday, March 26, at noon ET.
This year, The Femmys will again honor figures from the scene whose work has helped forge the genre, has expanded representation and has helped elevate others.
German DJ, producer, radio broadcaster and label owner Anja Schneider will receive the The Pioneer Award, honoring barrier-breaking trailblazers who’ve reshaped the dance and electronic music industries, paved the way for femme, nonbinary and LGBTQ+ artists and left a lasting impact on music, culture and inclusivity. In 2025, this award was given to legendary artists DJ Minx and DJ Lady D.
Iconic singer, songwriter, producer and DJ Ultra Naté will receive the Voice of House award, given to the singers whose voices have defined dance music. Crystal Waters and Barbara Tucker received this award in 2025.
Tokimonsta will receive the producer of the year award, which honors groundbreaking contributions, innovations and influence on the next generation of producers. Sara Landry received this award in 2025.
The Ally Award, honoring the allyship that builds communities and coalitions in impact-driven work, will go to John Summit, whose 2025 Experts Only Festival partnered with PLUS1 to donate $1 of every ticket sold to Femme House. The organization is using this money to support the launch of its first ever DJ focused online course.
The show will happen three weeks after the March 6 release of the third edition of Femme House’s collaborative compilation series with Insomniac Records, LP Giobbi x Insomniac Records Present: Femme House Volume 3, created to spotlight women, gender-expansive, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ artists in electronic music.
The inaugural Femmy Awards raised over $30,000 for Femme House’s mostly free educational programming for aspiring producers and DJs.
