The Galadriel Video Awards are fan run awards "dedicated to awarding the creative geniuses behind fandom music videos." They are open to all media fandoms except for anime/manga or porn movies. After 10 rounds of winners have been announced, there is a special "Best Of The Best" award that selects the best vids from the previous rounds.
