The P3 Gold Awards (Swedish: P3 Guld) are annual music awards recognising contributions to Swedish popular music, presented by Sveriges Radio's P3 channel. First presented in 2003 in Växjö, nominees are selected by a jury and winners are determined by a public vote.[1][2][3] Subsequent ceremonies have been held in Gothenburg for the most part, though Partille and Stockholm have also hosted a handful of times.[4]

The ceremony is generally held in January and aims to showcase performances from current Swedish artists.[5] During the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden, there was no ceremony held in 2022.[6]

Categories

As of the 2024 ceremony, there are eight award categories.[3] All categories have five nominees, with the exception of Artist of the Future, which has eight nominees, and the P3 Icon award, whose recipient is selected by the year's jury.[3]
