Goldene Stimmgabel

The Goldene Stimmgabel (English: Golden Tuning Fork) was an annual prize awarded within the German music scene from 1981 to 2007.[1]

The prizes were awarded according to the number of records sold from October of the previous year to June of the year of the award, as determined by Media Control. It was established in 1981 by Dieter Thomas Heck, who hosted the television gala award show every year since then. It was broadcast on either ARD or ZDF until the year 2000. From 2001 to 2007 the award show was broadcast by ZDF alone.[2]

In 2008, ZDF decided not to present the award and did not announce whether they would be resumed later, discontinued, or replaced with another award.[3] The award has not been held since (as of October 2019).[4]
