The 2022 Genie Music Awards was held at the Namdong Gymnasium in Incheon, South Korea on November 8, 2022. Organized by Genie Music, the event returned after a year of hiatus and was the ceremony's first offline edition since 2019. Artists who released music between October 1, 2021, and October 5, 2022, are eligible to be nominated. After the stampede incident at Itaewon, the event announced the cancellation of the red carpet and live broadcast. Instead, the show was recorded and rebroadcast on VOD platforms on November 18.
