Annual music video award
The MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist has been given out since the first annual MTV Video Music Awards in 1984.[ 1] Best New Artist in a Video . In 2007 its name was changed to Best New Artist , as the category underwent a format change to recognize the artist's body of work for the full year rather than a specific video. For the 2008 ceremony, the award retained its 2007 name but returned to the format of awarding a specific video rather than the artist's full body of work. This is the only award where voting closes during the ceremony.
The category was later renamed Artist to Watch through 2013 to 2015 while still keeping the format of an award going to a particular video. In 2020, the Best New Artist award merged with the Push Artist of the Year award (2018-2019) to create the Push Best New Artist award.[ 2] [ 3] Best New Artist ), thus separating it from the MTV Push initiative, which again received its own category (Push Performance of the Year ). [ 4]
