YouTube honors ‘Ninja,’ OK Go

The video series “Ask a Ninja” and OK Go’s treadmill-choreographed music video are among the winners in the first YouTube Video Awards.

The video-sharing site announced the seven winners from its inaugural awards on Monday, a week after the nominees were put forth for voting.

The power pop band OK Go, perhaps the most professional of the mostly amateur nominees, won most creative video for its “Here It Goes Again” music video. “Ask a Ninja,” the popular comedy created by Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine, won for best series.

Terra Naomi won for best music video for her song “Say It’s Possible,” a one-shot clip of her playing acoustic guitar and singing. Naomi has parlayed her online success into a record deal with Island Records, and will release her debut album this summer.

A video calling for a “Free Hugs Campaign” won for most inspirational video.
