History

2012

The first YUNA ceremony, which took place on 8 February 2012 at Palace "Ukraine" in Kyiv, honored the best in Ukrainian music spanning the twenty years since the country's independence in 1991 and was later named "YUNA: The Best of 20 Years". The event didn't have a host; rather, awards were presented by different celebrities. [4] From 28 nominees, who had been announced on 12 December 2011, [5] [6] the jury selected 9 winners. [7]

2013

The second YUNA ceremony, celebrating the best in Ukrainian music for the previous year, [8] was hosted by singer Potap. [9] It added two new categories, namely Best Duet and Breakthrough of the Year. [8]

2014

The 2014 YUNA gala was held under the slogan "YUNA – Music Unites! / YUNA – Get United!" [10]

2015

The 2015 event came with the slogan "Ukraine. Music. The Best!" [11] [12]

2016

The fifth YUNA ceremony took place on 25 February 2016. [13]

The sixth edition of the event [14] was held on 21 February 2017 and was again hosted by Potap. [15]

2021

The tenth ceremony was held on 12 May 2021. [20]

2022

In 2022, YUNA was scheduled for 16 March, [21] but due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was held online on 17 July instead. [22] The event's host, television presenter Volodymyr Ostapchuk, and producer Pavlo Shilko, announced that winners would not receive their trophies that year. Instead, they would be auctioned off, with proceeds being donated to the Ukrainian military. [23]

2023

The twelfth ceremony was once more held online, on 18 April 2023, and it only had one award category: Song of Indomitable Ukraine. [24] According to updated YUNA regulations, adapted to the realities of martial law, the jury selected winners from a top-100 list of most-frequently played new songs on Ukrainian radio stations from the previous year, starting from the Russian invasion. [25]

2024

The 2024 event took place on 23 May, at the International Center of Culture and Arts of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine, in Kyiv. [26]
