Following on from MTV's Movie and TV Awards, the VMAs has scrapped its best female and best male video categories in favour of a new gender neutral award for artist of the year.

It's also introduced another new category - best fight against the system - to celebrate video that inspire viewers to stand up and fight injustice.

The nominees in that category are:

• Logic ft. Damian Lemar Hudson - Black SpiderMan

• The Hamilton Mixtape - Immigrants (We Get the Job Done)

• Big Sean - Light

• Alessia Cara - Scars To Your Beautiful

• Taboo ft. Shailene Woodley - Stand Up / Stand N Rock #NoDAPL

• John Legend - Surefire

Among the British nominees include Ed Sheeran, who's up for three awards including artist of the year, best pop for Shape of You and best cinematography for Castle on the Hill.

Winners will be announced at a ceremony in Los Angeles on 27 August.
