What Are The MTV EMAs?

The MTV EMA or the MTV European Music Award is an award given by Viacom International Media Networks as a way to appreciate artists and music. The MTV EMA combines different performances of different artists. It is held every year in a different country, but it’s mostly hosted in the UK. The MTV EMA was created as an alternative for the MTV VMA which is hosted every single year in the US. 

The MTV EMA presents artists that had had the biggest impact in that year with an award specifying what was the impact. For artists to win, they need to be voted for, and because of that, the viewers and fans were able to vote for the artists they’re fan of. Because of this, the MTV EMA was able to show the changes and the diversity of the musical genre throughout the years. Each year shows how the musical taste of viewers changed.
