Buzznet Music Video Awards 2011: Nominations are NOW OPEN!

So, remember when we asked you guys who YOU thought should be nominated for a VMA? And suggested maybe we should just have our own darn video music awards this year?

Well, the response was so overwhelming that we decided, you know what? Let’s do it. Let’s have the Buzznet Video Music Awards this year.

And, because we want this to be a BUZZNET music video awards show, all of the videos will be chosen by you!

Here’s how it’ll work:

  • Any video that premiered between August 1st, 2010 and August 1st, 2011 is eligible. Generally speaking, we’ll be accepting Wikipedia’s dates for when videos premiered.
  • TO NOMINATE VIDEOS, GO HERE.
  • WHEN NOMINATING A VIDEO, MAKE SURE YOU USE THE FORMAT (SONG TITLE), (ARTIST). Example: Hurricane, 30 Seconds to Mars
  • A BAND/ARTIST CAN ONLY HAVE ONE VIDEO IN THE FINAL FIVE VOTING. Meaning that if the nominations for Best Rock Video ends up with “Na Na Na” by My Chemical Romance at #1 and “Sing” at #3, only “NA NA NA” will make the final ballot. This is to keep it fair to all of the bands and artists.
  • Nominations will be open until AUGUST 7TH, 2011. After that, we’ll take the top 5 nominees in each category and let Buzznet users pick the winners via polls here on Buzznet.com.
  • Our winners will be announced in a special blog on September 9th, 2011.

Some general stuff:

  • DO NOT NOMINATE IN THE COMMENTS TO THIS POST. No comment nominations will be counted. You HAVE to go to the form. This makes it easier for us and makes sure we count all of your nominations. If you nominate in the comments, you’ll be replied to with a link to the form and a gentle reminder of the rules.
  • PLEASE ONLY NOMINATE ONCE. This keeps things as fair as possible. Later on, you can vote all you like, but nominations are a one shot.
  • IF I SEE EVIDENCE OF SPAMMING IN THE NOMINATIONS, I WILL DELETE IT. This includes: nominating the same band in every category over and over and over again. IE: NOMINATING BIG TIME RUSH FOR “BEST HIP-HOP VIDEO” ROUGHLY 14 TIMES.
  • HAVE FUN. This…is pretty self explanatory.

So what are you waiting for? NOMINATE RIGHT NOW!
