The 8th ZAI Awards, honoring the best in the Slovak music industry for individual achievements for the year of 1997, took time and place on March 2, 1998, at the New Scene Theater in Bratislava. The ceremony was held in association with the local Music Fund (HF) and was hosted by actress Zdena Studenková. Unlike the previous editions when a clay statuette was designed, the new winners were bestowed a golden, five-pointed star with an inscription that read Grammy Slovakia '97, stationed on a black base.
