The Los Angeles Music Video Festival has one purpose: to celebrate the art of the music video. While many film festivals have music video categories, they tend to be presented as secondary, somehow less important or deserving of our consideration than other genres. There are precious few festivals in the world that focus exclusively on music videos, the people who make them and the people who love them. LAMVF not only provides that opportunity, but further brings together the independent music and independent film communities of Los Angeles in a celebration of local musical talent and creativity like never before.
If you make music, make videos, like music videos or know anyone who does, come be a part of the movement.
We award our famous "EMVY" trophy - a bronze-dipped VHS Tape - for each of the following categories:
Best Narrative Music Video
Best Non-Narrative Music Video
Best Animated Music Video
Best Student Music Video
Best Unofficial Music Video
Best Interactive and/or VR Music Video
In addition, sponsored prizes in the past have included premium speakers from SONOS, hard drives, editing and SFX packages, production resources and one-on-one meetings with top record label and directors' reps.
