In 2016, Music Malt launched 'Indian Music Video Awards' (IMVA), a bi-monthly music award program to showcase the best music videos from around the globe as well as choosing eight top videos for ❶ Gold (1 medal), ❷ Silver (upto 2 medals) and ❸ Bronze (upto 5 medals) medals.

Powered by Bangalore based music organisation Eastern Fare in association with Purple Trope, IMVA plans to provide a platform to different musical works in independent, non-film as well as popular film music genres by different artists from all over the world. The award function is held every two months. The top 8 videos are shared on our website with a profile on the band/artist as well as the video director. The videos are also shared on the Facebook pages and other social media platforms. The winning music video is provided with a laurel, a certificate, and an attractive gift hamper.

IMVA will give a platform to the upcoming indie as well as established musicians to showcase their music videos to a broader audience. An IMVA nomination itself is a validation of musical quality and only the most outstanding videos are selected for the top positions. IMVA wants to promote the alternative music scene with this award program.

The judges of IMVA mainly look out for music videos that send strong social messages, creative, funky or animated videos with powerful lyrics and music. If you think your video falls in any of these categories, it's the best platform for you to flaunt it.

    Still waiting for the soft copy of the certificate of the Special Mention Award. It was promised to be sent to me by e-mail in a few days after the festival and I keep asking about it every few weeks since March and nobody answers me while we really need it (maybe because I can't afford paying 85 USD for the shipping of the original certificate by post).
