MTV's US college service mtvU has launched the Woodie Awards, with Modest Mouse taking artist of the year and The Killers named best emerging artist.

Talking of awards with a college theme, and MTV's US college service mtvU launched a new awards programme this week to recognise the artists who are most successful on campuses across America.

Called the "Woodie Awards", the winners list was good news for Modest Mouse, who received the Woodie of the Year award for best artist, and the Silent But Deadly Woodie for having the best music video, for their single 'Float On'.

Other winners included The Killers who won The Breaking Woodie as best emerging artist, Sum 41 won The Good Woodie for 'greatest social impact', NERD took the Left Field Woodie for being most original artist, and Incubus won a Welcome Back Woodie for being a band that has achieved mainstream success while maintaining popularity on campus.
