The Edison Award is an annual Dutch music prize awarded for outstanding achievements in the music industry. It is comparable to the American Grammy Award.[1] The Edison award itself is a bronze replica of a statuette of Thomas Edison, designed by the Dutch sculptor Pieter d'Hont.[2] It is one of the oldest music awards in the world, first presented in 1960 at the inaugural Grand Gala du Disque.[3]
