The deadline for entries to the UK Music Video Awards 2018 is now less than two weeks away, with invitations to submit in over 30 categories at this year's UKMVAs, open until midnight (BST) on Wednesday, August 1st.

Once again at the UK Music Video Awards – the premier awards show celebrating the best work in music videos from the UK and around the world – there are honours for best British and International videos, in each music genre: pop, dance, urban, rock, and alternative.

There are also eight awards recognising technical excellence, in animation, choreography, cinematography, colour grading, Editing, Production design, Styling and VFX; plus honours for Best Interactive video, Best Live Video and Best Live Concert. There are also the Individual award categories – for best director, new director, producer, commissioner, and music artist, and the award for best production company.
