FEMALE* PRODUCER PRIZE 2025

Congratulations to the awardees* of the Female* Producer Prize 2025:
Devado, Vavunettha, Morea, Ylvib, Hanna Leess, Nini Nutsubidze.

The Female Producer Award celebrated its fourth edition in 2025 with an expanded concept. For the first time, songwriters had the chance to win the award alongside music producers, thereby receiving lasting support and the spotlight they deserved.

The number of applicants rose to 280 this year. To date, nearly 800 applications have been received for the award.

The festive award ceremony took place on November 14 at Fotografiska Berlin, following an intensive workshop day for the winners at the Sony Circle Studios.

The workshops were led by Melbeatz (Production), TEYA (Songwriting), Jovanka v. Wilsdorf (AI Creative), Sara Torchani (How-to Business), and Julia Labonte (Mental Health).

Hadnet hosted the evening in Fotografiska’s grand ballroom with an electrifying moderation.

The 2025 winners also received a prize package including production grants, vouchers for music equipment, high-quality music software, and training opportunities. In addition, they received a one-year membership to Music Women* Germany, were added to Sony Music Germany’s producer registry, and were invited to participate in a high-profile songwriting camp.

Last but not least, we thank our expert jury, who had the difficult task of making the selection: Finja Nierth (Director Creative & Repertoire, Sony Music Publishing), Jules Müller (A&R Manager, Epic Records/Sony Music Entertainment), Nico Rebscher (Multi-Platinum & Gold Producer/Songwriter), Philo Tsoungui (Winner of F*PP 2024, Musician/Producer), LINA (Gold-certified singer, songwriter), 2ir1n (Producer, artist, DJ).

Also, this year, not every producer could win who truly deserved it. To receive the shortlist of the 20 most outstanding music producers, please contact: Nina Graf, producerprice@musicwomen.de
