The Y Selar Awards (Welsh: Gwobrau’r Selar) are awarded annually for the best Welsh language rock and pop music, by the Welsh language music magazine, Y Selar. The awards ceremony is the only one particularly for Welsh language music.^[1]

The awards were first given out in 2010, in ten categories, with voting taking place via the Y Selar website, until the publication date of the March issue of the magazine.^[2]

Every February since 2014 the awards event has taken place at a 'live' event at Aberystwyth University, initially in front of an audience of 500,^[3] increasing to 700 in 2015.^[4] The organisers claimed an audience of 1,000 in February 2016.^[5]

Nominations are invited until December each year, for the twelve categories, from which a long list is chosen by the awards panel. A public vote then takes place using a Facebook app.^[6]
