MTV Europe Music Awards
The MTV Europe Music Awards ( EMA ), also MTV European Music Awards , are an annual, location-changing award ceremony for music artists from all over the world.
The EMAs were introduced in 1994 as a counterpart to the US MTV Video Music Awards (VMA). Many countries have their own category for the best domestic artist, who - like most award winners - is chosen by viewers of MTV on the Internet. The MTV Europe Music Awards are broadcast worldwide on TV and the Internet and can be watched by more than a billion people.

criticism
The EMAs are criticized because they are called the Europe Music Awards , but are heavily dominated by US greats. Most of the performing artists are from the USA, and even the presenters and laudators are rarely from Europe. Everyone can vote in the individual categories, but the nominees are determined by MTV. A European touch is also avoided as each MTV station only broadcasts the award ceremony for its local award winner. MTV Deutschland does not show the award of the Best UK and Ireland Act , but the award of the Best German Act , which is running in parallel .
