YouTube needs you to help announce the Artist of the Year winner at the YouTube Music Awards, which will air live on November 3.

YouTube launched PutMeInTheYTMAS.com, where people can upload a video of themselves saying just one word in this phrase:

"The nominees for 2013 Artist of the Year are: Eminem, Epic Rap Battles of History, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Nicki Minaj, One Direction, Psy, Rihanna and Taylor Swift. And the winner at the first ever YouTube Music Awards is ... "

Users can then click on a word, upload a YouTube link or video file, and stand the chance to be featured in the YouTube Music Awards live stream. The deadline for the one-word videos is Nov. 2. YouTube will select the best video for each word and combine them to complete the phrase:



The nominees in the Artist of the Year category and five other categories were chosen by YouTube based on their video views, Likes, comments and channel subscriptions since September 2012. YouTube created a nomination video for each nominee, and fans must share one on Facebook, Google+ or Twitter in order to cast a vote.

The live event at New York City's Pier 36 will be directed by Spike Jonze, on Sunday at 6 p.m. ET. The event will include performances from Lady Gaga, Eminem, Arcade Fire, Avicii, M.I.A, Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler the Creator and Walk Off the Earth.
