Voting for the 2009 Nigerian Music Video Awards is currently open. Instead of skimming through the categories voting for familiar names, i encourage you to watch every video (at least try), and vote squarely based on merit. You’ll be surprised by the quality of work of some of the lesser knowns.

To save you time and effort, i have attached a link to all videos nominated for the awards – the ones available on Youtube. Some videos received nominations in several categories. In such cases, a single link is provided. Visit livebeats.net to vote for your favorite videos.
