It seems as though the VMAs are no longer the traditional award ceremony, or at least they’re pushing the traditional to a whole new #modern level.

For this year’s awards ceremony, the VMAs are letting the audience, “the people”, vote and choose their favorite artists through Vine. This is a pretty smart move seeing as not that many people will spend the time to text a number or call to place their votes. In fact, the nominees were announced via Instagram, Vine, Twitter – all new platforms for VMAs press announcements.

It is still possible to vote online at here ; this will tell you all the different categories/who the nominees are but audiences can only vote for the Best Song of the Summer category through social media via videos and images and hashtag language. The nominees for the Best Song of the Summer category are:

We Can’t Stop by Miley Cyrus (#VoteMiley)
Get Lucky by Daft Punk featuring Pharrell (#VoteDaftPunk)
I Need Your Love by Calvin Harris featuring Ellie Goulding (#VoteCalvinAndEllie)
Come & Get It by Selena Gomez (#VoteSelena)
Best Song Ever by One Direction (#VoteOneDirection)
Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke featuring T.I. and Pharrell (#VoteThicke)
