It's the big night of the year for music videos, the premiere celebration of global music video creativity and the biggest party of the year - all in one night: the UK Music Video Awards 2025.
There were 39 awards that were presented for the best work in music videos over the past year at this year's UKMVAs on Thursday (October 30th), plus two special awards: the Icon Award to Damian Kulash of OK Go and the inaugural Legend award, commemorating the late, great, trailblazing director Diane Martel.
And here are the winners of the UK Music Video Awards 2025, moments after they collected their awards at Magazine London last Thursday (October 30th), taken at the sponsorboard area by resident UKMVA lensman Ben Meadows, in the order the honours were handed out.
