new criteria for budget video categories

this year the criteria for the best budget videos – awarded in 5 genres: pop, dance, urban, rock/indie and alternative – state that any video made for under £5000 (or the equivalent in another currency) is eligible to enter. this is an increase from a budget level of £2000 in the past.
budget video categories are open to entries from all around the world, and aim to recognise the best of new film-making talent working in music videos.
the budget categories offer a chance for newer filmmakers in the industry to showcase their talents. they also offer independent artists and labels a chance to participate in the awards, and demonstrate the extent of their creativity regardless of cost pressures.

last year’s winners in the budget video categories included zaiba jabbar’s video for tiny dancer’s ‘who am i’, ola martin fjeld’s video for pixel’s ‘call me’, stevie russell’s video for kodaline’s ‘all i want’, and lamar + nik’s video for lushlife’s ‘magnolia’.
