An MTV Video Music Award (commonly abbreviated as VMA ) is an award given by the MTV cable channel to honor the best in the medium of the music video. Originally conceived as an alternative to the Grammy Awards (in the video category), the annual MTV Video Music Awards ceremony is often called "Super Bowl for youth", an acknowledgment of VMA's ceremonial abilities to attract millions of youth from teens to 20-somethings each year. In 2001, VMA has become a coveted award. The statue given to the winner is an astronaut on the moon, one of MTV's early representations, and is called "moonman" everyday. However, in 2017 Chris McCarthy, President of MTV, declared that the statue would be called "Moon Man" ever since. The statue is conceived by Manhattan Design - also the original MTV logo designer - based on the 1981 "Top of the Hour" animation by Fred Seibert, produced by Alan Goodman, and produced by Buzz Potamkin at Buzzco Associates. The statue is now made by a New York company, the Community Award. Since the 2006 ceremony, viewers can choose their favorite videos in all general categories by visiting the MTV website.
The annual VMA ceremony takes place before the end of summer and is held in late August or mid September, and is broadcast live on MTV, along with simulcast on the MTV sister network to cancel internal competition. The first VMA ceremony was held in 1984 at Radio City Music Hall of New York City. Ceremonies are usually held in New York City or Los Angeles. However, the ceremony has also been held in Miami and Las Vegas.
