The My VH1 Music Awards is an annual music award ceremony held by American television network VH1 held in both 2000 and 2001.[1][2] Categories, nominees, and winners were selected entirely by public voting at VH1.com.[3] The ceremonies were held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California, broadcast live on VH1 and online. The award statuette was designed by sculptor Lawrence Nowlan.[4]
