The Madison Area Music Association, also known as MAMA, is a local nonprofit whose mission is supporting the Madison area music scene. Every year they give thousands of dollars to youth programs that put musical instruments in kids’ hands, as well as hosting an annual awards gala for musicians in all genres and other music industry professionals. Final round voting occurs throughout the month of April. To participate, just go here to register with a minimum $5 donation.
