MTV Europe Music Awards

The MTV Europe Music Awards were established in 1994 by MTV Europe to celebrate the most popular music videos in Europe. Originally beginning as an alternative to the American MTV Video Music Awards, the MTV Europe Music Awards is today a popular celebration of what MTV viewers consider the best in music. Unlike the VMAs, most of the awards are voted for by the viewers.
MTV Europe Music Awards always changes its host city. Up until now Germany, Italy and The United Kingdom hosted the event twice.
The awards are presented annually and broadcast live on MTV Europe, MTV and most of the International MTV channels.
MTV Europe Music Awards is often criticized as being too American and out of touch with music that is popular in continental Europe. The popularity of the show has slighly decreased in recent years since a considerably lower number of American acts tops European charts while they still continue to dominate this event. Organizers of the 12th MTV Europe Music Awards 2005 in Lisbon, Portugal hope to change that and give back the European touch to the show.
