Juno Award for Video of the Year - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Juno Award for "Video of the Year" has been awarded since 1984, as recognition each year for the best music video made by a Canadian video director. The award is presented based on the Canadian nationality of the director, not necessarily the song or recording artist; there have been a number of instances where directors have been nominated or won for videos that were created for songs by American or British artists.

The award used to be called "Best Video".^{[citation needed]}
