The Contest is open to any band. It should be noted, however, that the nature of the grand prize lends itself to bands that are currently unsigned.

Check out the "How It Works" link above to learn about the rules of this contest.

The winners will be selected by a combination of voting by the online fans and judging by the music producer. The online fans will select the Top 10 bands based upon their music video entries (voting window opens on Monday, July 2, 2007 and ends on Sunday, July 15, 2007). The producer will carefully review each of the Top 10 entries, as selected by the online fans, and will select the grand prize winner and two runner-ups (2nd and 3rd places). Final results will be announced on Wednesday, July 18, 2007.

Your video entry must be no longer than five (5) minutes in length and must be in one of the following file formats: .mov, .wmv, .avi, .dv, .mpg, .mpg4, .3gp and .3gp2. Please note that the VideoEgg tool used for uploading currently does not support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. Please be sure to use a machine loaded with XP or an older operating system when uploading your video.

Each band can upload as many music videos as they wish, but only one such upload / entry can make it into the Top 10 as determined by the online audience vote.

We’ve found that promoting yourself through your online and offline network is the best way to “get out the vote”. The voting window opens to the online fans on Monday, July 2, 2007.
