2011 Blues Music Awards

The Blues Music Awards are presented by the Blues Foundation, a non-profit organization set up to foster the blues and its heritage. The awards were started by the Blues Foundation in 1980, and are widely regarded as the highest honor for blues artists in the United States.

The awards were formerly known as the W. C. Handy Awards (or "The Handys"), however, they were re-named in 2006 in an effort to increase public awareness of the significance of the awards.
