Wikipedia describes the VMAs as, "an award show presented by the cable channel MTV to honor the best in the music video medium. Originally conceived as an alternative to the Grammy Awards (in the video category), the annual MTV Video Music Awards ceremony has often been called the "Super Bowl for youth", an acknowledgment of the VMA ceremony's ability to draw millions of youth from teens to 20-somethings each year."
Its cinematography award is a craft award given to both the artist as well as the cinematographer/director of photography of the music video.
