Music Nepal has historically recognized and honored artists for their contributions and commercial success in the Nepali music industry. Since its inception, the company organized an annual event known as Music Nepal Sanjh, where artists were congratulated and presented with awards based on the sales of their cassette releases. The event served as a platform to acknowledge notable achievements during the era of physical music distribution in Nepal. With the gradual transition of the music industry from physical formats to digital platforms, the practice of awarding artists based on cassette sales declined.
