To accommodate music videos submitted after June 26th, 2008, site members can alter their nominations up until the final day of voting. The music videos with the most votes as of August 1st, 2008 are reviewed by a panel of credible judges who select the 2008 award winners.

In addition to launching public voting, a number of new features have been added to the site, including the ability to embed videos into blogs, social networks and web pages, plus the integration of social bookmarking. The new website features combined with a high-resolution music video experience give artists the opportunity to leverage the promotional power of the Internet. "Our technology allows artists to showcase their talent to an international fanbase while simultaneously giving music lovers a vast selection of music videos to discover and enjoy," says Gautam Pinto, Technology Strategist at CraveFest.
