COUNT DOWN TO THE EARLYBIRD DEADLINE!!!

The first of 3 Deadlines for submissions this year is just around the corner.
You can find more info about the deadlines on our website:

http://www.berlinmva.com/main/how-to-submit/

 

 

Why should you send your entry earlier?

1. We will have more time to watch your video – when it gets closer to the final deadline we receive a large quantity of submissions in a short space of time.

2. Unlike other festivals, we are already starting to nominate videos (10 videos every few weeks). Videos that aren’t selected now will be considered for the next rounds. Videos that are submitted around the final deadline have a lower chance of being nominated (by then 30-40 nomination empty places).

3. Earlier submissions are cheaper!

4. If you’re aware of your nomination earlier, you have more time to prepare for visiting the event (booking cheap flights and so on..)


We officially start accepting your videos for 2016 from the 1st September. This year we guarantee better prizes for the category winners and the final winner will receive not 1, not 2, but €3000 in cash!

 

What’s more… this year 3 nominees will get a golden pass to the finals!! Yes, yes, you heard it right… That means that even if a video is not a category winner, you might find it in the finals running for the big prize. Why? Because every year we feel that some videos are awesome, even if they don’t get to be the best of their category.

 

As always, it’s better to send us your videos early since we like to give them the maximum attention and time.
Stay tuned on our social media! We have much more news to come…

 

Before we embark on another delicious music video roller coaster, we would like to remind you how the entire event looked like:
