This paper is concerned with the multiplicity of nontrivial solutions in an Orlicz-Sobolev space for a nonlocal problem involving N-functions and theory of locally Lispchitz continuous functionals. More precisely, in this paper, we study a result of multiplicity to the following multivalued elliptic problem: {M(ΩΦ(u)dx)div(ϕ(u)u)ϕ(u)uF(u) \mboxin Ω,uW01LΦ(Ω),\left \{ \begin{array}{l} -M\left(\displaystyle\int_\Omega \Phi(\mid\nabla u\mid)dx\right) div\big(\phi(\mid\nabla u\mid)\nabla u\big) -\phi(|u|)u\in \partial F(u) \ \mbox{in}\ \Omega,\\[6mm] u\in W_0^1L_\Phi(\Omega), \end{array} \right. where ΩRN\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{N} is a bounded smooth domain, N2N\geq 2, MM is continuous function, Φ\Phi is an N-function with Φ(t)=0tϕ(s)s ds\Phi(t)=\displaystyle\int^{|t|}_{0}\phi(s)s \ ds and F(t)\partial F(t) is a generalized gradient of F(t)F(t). We use genus theory to obtain the main result
