(CBS/AP) For everyone out there who wants their MTV with a little more positivity, there’s a new award at the VMAs that rewards the best video with a message. When Chicago-based rock act Rise Against began writing a song about suicide among gay teens, the band’s lead singer tried to block out the event that inspired the tune — the death of a gay friend. “His loss was something big to me,” said Tim McIlrath.

Now the video is competing in a new category at the MTV Video Music Awards: the aforementioned best video with a message award. It highlights music videos sending messages of positivity and self-empowerment and raising awareness about social issues that affect today’s youth. “I hope that category sticks around and I hope it gives artists something to aim for,” said McIlrath, who teamed with the It Gets Better Project for the music video.
