Channel O has announced the nominees for the channel's upcoming 2011 Music Video Awards.

The awards are in their eighth year this year and recognise videos that have achieved the most popular appeal on the channel over the past year.

Last year's ceremony was held at the Sandton Convention Centre and aired live for the first time. The venue for this year's awards hasn't been confirmed yet - we'll keep you posted when it is.

As per usual, the winners are chosen by viewers who can vote via SMS, online and via MXiT. Voting opened on Friday (19 August) and closes at midnight on Thursday, 27 October 2011. (All the voting details are below.)
