Voting for the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards is under way, and MTV has announced yet another reason to raise our glass to the year's best music videos with the first-ever "Best Video With a Message" category.
The special category, in conjunction with MTV Act, celebrates the union between music and social activism, and highlights artists who created music videos that made us think about the world around us. These artists could have just made party songs, but instead they also took a stand against bullying, fought for LGBT rights and reminded us why we're all special. You've watched the videos on repeat, sang the songs in the shower and turned them into rally cries.
Take action and vote for "Best Video with a Message" through Aug. 16, below.
+ Lady Gaga, "Born This Way" (Vote | Take Action)
Mother Monster gives birth to a world free from prejudice, judgment and self-doubt.
