Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video

The Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video has been awarded since 1984. A similar award for Best Long Form Music Video has also been awarded since 1984. In 1988 and 1989 the award criteria were changed and the video awards were presented for Best Concept Music Video and Best Performance Music Video.

• From 1986 to 1997 (except for 1988 and 1989) it was awarded as Best Music Video, Short Form
