The MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year is the most prestigious competitive award and the final award presented at the annual MTV Video Music Awards.[1] The award was created by the U.S. network MTV to honor artists with the best music videos.[2] At the first MTV Video Music Awards ceremony in Template:Mtvvma, the Video of the Year honor was presented to The Cars for the video "You Might Think".[3] Originally, all winners were determined by a special panel of music video directors, producers, and record company executives.[4] Since the Template:Mtvvma awards, winners of major categories are determined by viewers' votes through MTV's website, while the jury decides in the technical categories.[5] Beginning in Template:Mtvvma, Burger King sponsors the category through a partnership with Paramount, resulting in the award being presented as MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year Presented by Burger King.[6][7]
