This year's Best Newcomer winner at the MOBOs will not only walk away with the music prize, they'll also be given a limited edition HTC One handset plated with pure gold.
The 18ct design is the most expensive HTC phone ever produced and is worth £2,750.
There are only five models of the phone available and the luxury handset has been created to celebrate the 18th anniversary of the Music of Black Origin awards.
MOBO and HTC are also giving a member of the public the chance to win one of the devices.
The phone will be presented to the winner of Best Newcomer category, sponsored by HTC, at this year's ceremony in Glasgow on 19 October.
It was created in partnership with Goldgenie founder Laban Roomes.
The body of the HTC One is made of a single piece of metal and the front and back is plated in 18ct gold. A specially-designed MOBO 18 logo has been etched onto the rear of the device using a laser.
It has a 4.7-inch display, can store 32GB worth of data and comes with a 4-megapixel camera.
In the event of a double act winning the MOBO for Best Newcomer, two gold HTC Ones will be presented to the winners.
Phil Blair, HTC President of Europe Middle East and Africa said: 'The best artists have always been given gold discs to celebrate their success, but today most people listen to music on their phone.
'We wanted to celebrate that fact.'
Goldgenie has previously made bespoke phones for Denzel Washington, Will Smith and Kate Moss, but this is the first time they have worked directly with an Android manufacturer.
