Program[edit]
Every year, the BMVA takes place over four days in May/June. The nominees and awardees of the various music video categories are presented during the ceremony, and the winners of each category are announced and awarded.[21] Furthermore, the show also consists of onstage live performances from renowned bands and musicians, like Little Big (band), Vitalic, and members of The Prodigy. The festival is usually held in one of Berlin's popular clubs, such as Club GRETCHEN (2019/2018)[22] or Nuke Club (2017).[23] After-show parties are organised in connection with the award ceremony.[24]
In the years 2020[25] and 2021,[26] the award ceremony took place digitally as a result of the global Covid-19 pandemic. The show was recorded at the KitKat Club[27](2020) and Alex Berlin[28][29] (2021), who had been cooperating with the BMVA since its early years. In 2020/21, the hosts were Alexandrine Yetundey [30] and David Hailey.[31]
After two years of online editions, the Berlin Music Video Awards celebrated its 10th anniversary from June 8 to June 11 (2022) in Club Gretchen.[32]
