Rihanna and Taylor Swift have picked up the most nominations for this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards.
The pair are up for six and five awards respectively, and go against each other in the Best Female, Best Pop and Best Look categories.
Justin Bieber and Katy Perry are in the running for four awards each, while Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj are among those up for three.
The MTV EMAs take place on 11 November in Frankfurt, Germany.
Rihanna is also up for the Biggest Fans award, as well as Best Song and Best Video for her hit We Found Love.
The star will be hoping to do better than the recent US version of the awards, where she only won in one out of five categories.
Taylor Swift’s other nods at the EMAs come in the Best Live and Best World Stage categories..
The US version of the event took place earlier this month with One Direction leading the way with three trophies.
However, this time around the group are only up for two awards, Best New Act and Biggest Fans.
The public have from 17 September until 9 November to vote in all the categories.
Last year’s awards, which took place in Belfast, pulled in 39 million television viewers, a record for the event.
