BVMI: Bunderverband Der Phonografischen Wirtschaft E.V.
Gold Award presented to RCA MUSIC GROUP in recognition of sales in excess of 100.000 units in Germany of the album "ALL THAT I AM" May 2006

In 1975 the German pendent of the RIAA, the so called Bundesverband der phonographischen Wirtschaft e.V., started its gold and platinum award program. At this point there was no catchy acronym, but in fall 2007 the association was renamed as Bundesverband Musikindustrie with the official short cut BVMI – so I will use this acronym throughout the text to simplify matters.

Interestingly, the BVMI has no guide lines regarding the form or style of awards, and there are also no licensed manufacturers. So there are various styles of frames, mattes and even plates. Not to mention that sometimes there are different texts engraved. But the plate must be ordered at BVMI so they check the sold copies etc., just like the RIAA procedure.
