Each entered video must have been completed and delivered to the commissioning company between August 1st 2017 and July 31st 2018.

Find out more information about all the award categories on the categories page of the UKMVAs website. Then go to the enter now page of the website to enter a video in any of these categories, or in the Best Video, Interactive, Live, Individual and Company categories. The cost is £75 + VAT per video per category, and the final entry deadline to enter work is next Tuesday, August 7th at midnight BST. 

The first round of judging for this year’s MVAs begins approximately a week after the entry deadline – invitations to Jury Members to participate in the online judging round on the MVA judging platform have been sent out in the past few days. A second round of judging will follow in early September.
