The Quiz: What award is presented to winners at the MTV Video Music Awards?
Dundie
Clio
Moon Person

Every awards show has its own trophy, from the Oscar of the Academy Awards to the gramophone trophy of the Grammy Awards. MTV gives away one of the most unique statues in awards history: the Moon Person (formerly Moonman). It has been given out since the inaugural show in 1984 and was chosen because of MTV’s connection to the space program. During MTV’s network debut, the channel showed the Apollo 11 aircraft launching into space and landing on the moon, followed by an astronaut placing an MTV flag on the moon. This opener forever linked MTV with space travel.
The correct answer to this quiz is Moon Person.
