The Multishow Brazilian Music Award for Cover of the Year is an annual award given at the Multishow Brazilian Music Award, a ceremony established in 1994 and originally called the TVZ Awards. The category was introduced in 2016 under the name Best Record Cover. In 2021, the category's name was changed to Cover of the Year, aiming to recognize and honor the best album covers released throughout the year.
In its debut, the category was judged by the Superjury, a select group of experts from the music industry. However, starting in 2022, the responsibility for selecting the winner was passed to members of the Multishow Award Academy, made up of professionals from the music world. This group is responsible for evaluating and voting on the album covers, considering aspects such as originality, creativity, and visual impact.
