The MTV Video Music Awards, commonly abbreviated as VMAs, is an award show presented by MTV to honor the best in the music video medium. The ceremony has often been called the Super Bowl for young people since the VMA ceremony is able to attract millions of youth viewers from teens to 20-somethings each year. By 2001, the VMA had become a well known award.
