There’s just over four days left from today (August 4th) to enter work into the UK Music Video Awards 2017 – the premiere awards show for music video creativity in Britain and beyond, and the big party of the year for UK music videos. 

This includes the eight Technical Achievement awards which will honour the creativity and technical prowess of individuals working on a specific music video, celebrating the art and craft on show in specific departments. Here are the categories: 

Best Animation in a video

Best Cinematography in a video

Best Choreography in a video

Best Colour Grade in a video

Best Editing in a video

Best Production Design in a video

Best Styling in a video

Best Visual Effects in a video

Each entered video must have been completed and delivered to the commissioning company between August 1st 2016 and July 31st 2017. More information about these categories, and a full rundown of all the categories to enter before the entry deadline of next Tuesday, August 8th at midnight (BST) - can be found at the UKMVA website. 

To enter the awards go to the awards entry page on the website, and then follow the entry process. The cost is £75 + VAT per video per category. 

Judging for this year’s UKMVAs will begin shortly after the entry deadline, and the first round of online judging will run through the rest of August. Invitations have been sent out to hundreds of members of the music video-making community in the UK and further afield, to become Jury Members in the first round. A second round of judging will follow in early September.

The UK Music Video Awards 2017 will take place for the second year running at the legendary Roundhouse in London on Thursday October 26th. Ticket information for the biggest night of the year for music video is coming soon.
