Budding music video creators and musicians across Africa can be part of the upcoming MTV Africa Music Awards by submitting original video's.
In an award category dedicated to the ‘MeTV’ digital generation,
MTVBase’s introduced the My Video Award to salute music videos created for and by MTV viewers.
The category gives ‘armchair’ directors the opportunity of entering their work into the awards and sharing it with MTV viewers.
How to EnterTo take part in the My Video Award, send in your very own 1-minute music video clip to MTV. The clips can be anything you like, as long as they contain your own original video and music.
You could create a video to your own composition or a spoof of your favourite music video (to tracks chosen by MTV -

Funny, deadly serious, outrageous or just pure audiovisual magic -
you are the director,
you decide what you submit and MTV fans across Africa and the world will decide the ultimate winner by voting for their favourite clip online and on mobile.
You can submit your entries online at
mama.mtvbase.com in one of the following formats: FLV, MPG, WMV, AVI, MPEG 4, 3GP and SWF.
Alternatively you can post your video to your local MTV office. Or you can drop off your video at one of the MAMA collection points in: South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Angola, DRC and Mozambique (see MAMAs website for details of drop-off dates and points).
All eligible video clips will be posted on the MAMAs website (mama.mtvbase.com) between 22 September and 7 November, so that you can check them out, forward them to your friends and ultimately vote for your favourites.
The winner of the Award will earn a VIP trip to Abuja, Nigeria with a friend to collect their award and attend the party.
