Filmmakers, producers, and/or musicians who submit their video to the International Music Video Awards must possess all of the necessary permissions/rights to that video. At first, you won’t be asked for those, however, if the video will get nominated, it will be necessary.
The applicant grants the International Music Video Awards the non-exclusive rights to reproduce the video and/or part of the video, and to showcase the video for the purposes of the event and/or its promotion.
Please note:
The International Music Video Awards does not guarantee that your submitted music video will be shortlisted for the event.
