International Music Video Awards
Thirty-four categories including craft and regional awards. The fee is not flat: the three headline categories cost €49, visual effects €39, and most others €35.
A Budapest-based music video award with an unusually wide category list, including craft categories and a Best AI Music Video award. Entry is per category, so the cost depends entirely on how many you pick.
