Entries are now open for the UK Music Video Awards 2016.

Returning for the ninth year, the awards will honour global music video creators across a variety of genres.

From best live music coverage to best new director, entries are now open for more than 30 categories with submissions made via the UK Music Video Awards website.

The submissions will close on August 2nd and this year’s ceremony will take place on October 20th at London’s The Roundhouse.

Speaking of this year’s awards, UK Music Video Awards editorial director David Knight said: “With music videos playing such a huge role in how music reaches people now, the UKMVAs provides an important platform for recognising the incredible range of talent involved in making them. Music video has always been a playground for up and coming filmmakers, and creative space for visual ideas. It can incorporate all kinds of filmmaking, and it can also have its very own film language. In music videos, as in music, anything goes. It just has to work. The UKMVAs is here to celebrate the work that does exactly that.”

Nominations are now open via the UK Music Video Awards website.
