How it Works

More than 10 Thousands entries submitted through IIMVA have been chosen as Official Selections by the world's leading film festivals. Yours could be next.

Rules and Terms

In order to get an award, you must possess the proper rights to nominate your project. You must be (for example) an artist, a director, a producer, a studio, a label, or any other entity attached to the project. By submitting a project, you confirm you have the proper rights and authority to do so.

  • We welcome any style, genre, subject matter, low or high budget, creative work possible. The only restriction is a 10-minute runtime maximum.
  • All entries are entered to the Best in Show category by default, as well as one category of your choosing. To be reviewed for extra categories, you can pay an extra judicial fee.

Not all categories may be awarded.

  • Any additional information you supply with your entry is greatly appreciated!

Physical entries will not be returned.

  • All entries must be received before the final deadline to be judged.
  • For non-english projects, please include the lyrics to the track in your submission.

Note that each categories position on the website is subject to change.

Awards & Prizes

There are many different categories available to best honor the craft of music videos.

All entries are in the running for Best in Show, but we ask that all submissions are submitted into one of our subcategories. We're sure there will be at least one that fits your project.
