4th Annual Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards

Founded in 2016, the “Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards” were originally designed to showcase the best country music talent in Colorado and Wyoming. However, the first year went so well that other states wanted to be able to show how amazing their country music talent was also, so, in 2017, Utah, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas were added to the RMCMAs. In 2018 New Mexico would join the party. And we are excited to announce that this year will see the addition of two new states, Montana and North Dakota.

The show itself is much like you’d see on one of the big country music awards shows on TV. It features performances from some of the regions best, celebrity presenters, laughter, and of course, the presentation of awards to the years best. For anyone that follows the country music scene, you know we do things a little different out west. This show has the legitimacy of a national award show, with a uniquely western feel.

The 2020 Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards are right around the corner on March 13th in Greeley, Colorado. And sticking with the tradition that was started at the first RMCMA show, instead of trophies, winners for each category will receive the coveted RMCMA trophy belt buckle. However, this year, the buckles come from the most well-respected buckle maker in America, Montana Silversmiths. The Rocky Mountain CMAs and Montana have agreed on an exclusive partnership for the 2020 show that will mean all eleven award winners will receive a custom made Montana buckle as their award.
