MTV Video Music Brazil


The MTV Video Music Brasil awards, were MTV Brasil's annual award ceremony, established in 1995. MTV viewers picked the winners for most categories since 2001.
Unlike the MTV Video Music Awards, where Video of the Year is the top honor, the most important category at the MTV Video Music Brazil was the Viewer's Choice Award until both categories were merged in 2005. In 2007, the awards underwent a major rebranding, with several categories eliminated—most notably the specific genre divisions—and the design of the trophies changed. From that year onward, the event shifted its focus from music videos to artists, making Artist of the Year its most prestigious award, although the Video of the Year category continued to be presented.
For the first time, the former MTV did not hold the 2013 VMB, due to the high price of the prize pool and the delivery of the station's brand to Viacom. In 2014, the pay TV version of MTV Brazil considered reviving the awards, but the plans were eventually discontinued in order to priorize MTV's international awards, such as the Video Music Awards and the MTV EMA. Even so, the award was considered extinct. In 2018, MTV started to produce MTV MIAW Awards Brazil as an award focused on Brazilian pop culture, being considered in some ways a successor to the VMB.
