The Global AI Music Video Awards — GAIMVA is an international competition and festival created specifically for AI-generated and AI-assisted music videos.

The festival brings together music, filmmaking, artificial intelligence and digital creativity, giving artists and production teams an opportunity to compete for cash prizes, international recognition, award nominations, festival screenings and promotional exposure. Pasted markdown GAIMVA welcomes a broad range of creative approaches. Eligible projects can be fully AI-generated or combine traditional production with AI-assisted animation, visual effects, editing, world-building, fashion concepts, performance design, music, voices or other creative workflows. Entries may include narrative music videos, animation, experimental films, performance videos, vertical social-media productions, student projects and human + AI collaborations.

Projects are evaluated on factors including originality, artistic vision, the relationship between music and visuals, AI innovation, human creative direction, editing, storytelling, emotional impact and technical execution.
