The pop-punk band, making waves with the radio hit I Write Sins Not Tragedies, will vie for a Woodie of the Year award — yes, they make those — along with Angels & Airwaves, The Academy Is, Atmosphere and Gym Class Heroes at the third annual mtvU Woodie Awards.

The event, presented by MTV's college channel to honor acts favored by the dorm-room set, will take place Oct. 25 at Roseland Ballroom in New York. The show will air Nov. 2 on mtvU (8 p.m. ET).

The Arctic Monkeys and Imogen Heap lead with three nominations each, and will compete in the Breaking Woodie (best new artist) and Streaming Woodie (most downloaded song) categories.

Heap, who generated buzz for her 2005 album Speak for Yourself, is also up for a Left Field Woodie, awarded to artists who "resist all classification," the network said. Her competitors are Gnarls Barkley, Gogol Bordello, Lady Sovereign and Wolfmother.

The big-name acts for Alumni Woodie include the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fiona Apple and Ghostface Killah.

Viewers can vote on the awards' categories through Oct. 20 by visiting the network's website http://www.mtvu.com or by accessing its programming on their mobile phones.
