We all know when it comes to videos, bigger isn't necessarily better. Intimacy counts. Everyone has a story of the unknown performer they saw at some no-name dive who just blew their mind. And that performer had been gigging for years, playing to small (and loyal) crowds, just never hitting "The Big Time."
At American Music Video Network, we want to see those artists, to showcase those artists - the ones who understand that it's all about the music.
So here's the good news: It's easy to get airplay on AMV. And not just at 4:00am, either. We want your stuff. We can't wait to see it, and to share it with the world. The only catch is that we do have some standards to maintain for broadcast quality television. Please review our Video Specifications. Our intake process takes a couple weeks, but that's how fast you can be on the air.

Here at AMV, we believe in allowing the music to speak for itself. Shooting that great video, believe it or not, is not that hard or expensive, if you plan it out. In any case, we want to see you find an audience, and we've got resources to help you do just that. If you're ready for that, here you go...
