Berlin Music Video Awards

All of your favorite music videos would be nothing without them, this is why the BEST PRODUCTION COMPANY category is here to reward those who ensure that every project is a success. Here is a small collage of our ten nominated companies, responsible for some of the amazing music videos you will see at our event. They are very active in the music video scene and we want to encourage them to keep doing this fantastic work. A huge thank you to all of those who submitted videos regardless of the nomination! The competition this year was the highest we’ve ever seen, and a lot of phenomenal videos didn’t quite make the cut. We’d love to see everyone (especially those who submitted videos) at our event on June 12-14th in Berlin! You don’t want to miss it!
