“Last year, we only had four categories open for voting, and we got a huge response,” Femme house cofounder Hermixtalot tells Billboard. “Considering that, we made the decision this year to open nearly all the categories to the public, and give folks something to get excited about. Most award shows don’t give fans control, and since so much of our mission is about reflecting back what the community wants and needs, this felt right.”
The Femmy Awards happen March 26 at 12 p.m. ET at Miami’s Palm Tree Club, during Miami Music Week. The event is the nonprofit’s biggest fundraiser of the year, bringing in $30,000 in 2025, with the money going to Femme House’s mostly free educational programming for aspiring producers and DJs. Tables for the 2026 event begin at $3,500 and are on sale now.
Femme House is also putting on other programming throughout the week, including a panel conversation hosted in collaboration with W Hotels at the W South Beach on March 27. Happening as part of Femme House’s Miami Music Week Artist Fellowship Program and led by Femme House founders LP Giobbi and Hermixalot, this discussion will feature agents, managers, labels reps and more, and will focus on about what these people are looking for from up-and-coming artists.
The 2026 Femmy Awards will also honor Anja Schneider, Ultra Naté, Tokimonsta, John Summit, Mary Droppinz and EMJIE with special honors.
