The 58th annual BMI Pop Awards are a music awards show and dinner presented by U.S. performing rights organization BMI. The songwriters and publishers of the most performed pop songs on U.S. radio and television for the past 12 months are honored at this private event.

Each year awards include the Pop Song of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Publisher of the Year, as well as the presentation of the John Lennon Scholarship winner.

The BMI Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation founded in 1985, is dedicated to encouraging the creation, performance and study of music through awards, scholarships, internships, grants, and commissions.
Support for the Foundation comes primarily from BMI affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers, BMI employees, and members of the public with a special interest in music. Many donors have chosen to contribute to the Foundation in the spirit of "giving back" to the field of music, which they feel has been generous to them. Because all members of the Foundation's staff and the distinguished members of the Advisory Panel serve without compensation, over 97% of all donations and investment income has been used for charitable grants. Contributions to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
Throughout the year, the Foundation works to administer the various competitions for awards, scholarships, internships and commissions. The final selections for these programs are entrusted to panels made up of some of the world's most distinguished artists and musicians, all of whom volunteer their time and knowledge. The focus of these programs is on American music; however, there are several opportunities open to international students.
The Foundation also awards grants on an annual basis that are directed primarily to not-for-profit music organizations from around the country. The Foundation's Advisory Panel reviews and makes recommendations for these awards, which range from the support of classical music groups specializing in contemporary works, to musical theatre programs for inner-city youngsters, to programs designed to preserve and continue such indigenous American music as jazz and blues.
