The awards were presented twice, in 2007 and 2008, with winners being voted for by the site's users from shortlists compiled by YouTube staff. YouTube was launched on February 14, 2005, and quickly began to grow – by July 2006, <a href="/wiki/Web_traffic" title="Web traffic">traffic</a> to the site had increased by 297 percent. As a result of this success, YouTube launched their own awards promotion in March 2007 to honor some of the site's best videos. Seven shortlists were compiled, with ten videos per shortlist. Users were invited to vote for the winners over a five-day period at a dedicated web page. Singer <a href="/wiki/Damian_Kulash" title="Damian Kulash">Damian Kulash</a>, whose band <a href="/wiki/OK_Go" title="OK Go">OK Go</a> won in the Most Creative category for their music video <i><a href="/wiki/Here_It_Goes_Again_(music_video)" class="mw-redirect" title="Here It Goes Again (music video)">Here It Goes Again</a></i>, said that receiving a YouTube Award was a surreal honor and that the site was changing culture "quickly and completely". </p><p>The YouTube Awards returned the following year, to commemorate the best videos of 2007. That year, the number of categories was expanded from seven to twelve, while the number of videos per shortlist was reduced from ten to six. Critics noted that unlikely newcomers, such as <i><a href="/wiki/Battle_at_Kruger" title="Battle at Kruger">Battle at Kruger</a></i> and <i>Stop the Clash of Civilizations</i> by <a href="/wiki/Avaaz" title="Avaaz">Avaaz</a>, had triumphed over more established videos, such as <i><a href="/wiki/I_Got_a_Crush...On_Obama" class="mw-redirect" title="I Got a Crush...On Obama">I Got a Crush...On Obama</a></i> and <i>Leave Britney Alone!</i> Reaction to the YouTube Awards was generally negative. In 2007, commentators questioned why a promotion to recognize the best videos of 2006 was taking place so late into the year, and contrasted the awards with the similar Vloggies. Attention was also drawn to the timing of the 2007 awards: five days after media conglomerate <a href="/wiki/Viacom_(2005%E2%80%932019)" title="Viacom (2005–2019)">Viacom</a> had filed a <a href="/wiki/Viacom_International_Inc._v._YouTube,_Inc." title="Viacom International Inc. v. YouTube, Inc.">$1 billion lawsuit against YouTube</a> for copyright infringement. Technology evangelist <a href="/wiki/Don_Dodge" title="Don Dodge">Don Dodge</a> suggested that the awards were an attempt by YouTube to highlight content on their website that did not violate copyrights before the case went to trial. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=YouTube_Awards&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/History_of_YouTube" title="History of YouTube">History of YouTube</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Youtube_logo.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="The words "YouTube Broadcast Yourself".
