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]

Taylor Swift holds the record for the most wins, with a total of five for "Bad Blood" (Template:Mtvvma), "You Need to Calm Down" (Template:Mtvvma), All Too Well: The Short Film (Template:Mtvvma), “Anti-Hero" (Template:Mtvvma) and "Fortnight" (Template:Mtvvma).

Kendrick Lamar, Swift, and Lil Nas X have further won the award for a video they co-directed: Lamar for "Humble" in Template:Mtvvma, Swift for "You Need to Calm Down" in 2019, and Lil Nas X for "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" in Template:Mtvvma.Template:Efn Taylor Swift is the artist who won most Video of the Year trophies for self-directed videos - she directed "All Too Well: The Short Film", "Anti-Hero" and "Fortnight".
