The International Bluegrass Music Association, or IBMA, exists to promote bluegrass music. Its main annual event, the World of Bluegrass, is a combination trade show and awards presentation, held annually since 1990. In 1991 the IBMA Hall of Honor was created to recognize lifetime contributions to bluegrass, both by performers and non-performers. The first inductees were Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt, and Earl Scruggs.
