The Brit Awards were established in 1977 by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The nominees and winners of these annual awards are determined by a voting academy with more than a thousand members including record label executives, publishers, managers, agents, members of the media, and previous winners and nominees.
The first awards were given in 1977 in celebration of 100 years since Thomas Edison invented the phonograph and the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The awards were given in recognition of the past 25 years. In 1982, it became an annual event.
