Dust off your video cameras, call your boom guy, bring in the best boy and cast your comrades–we want you, filmmakers of North America, to direct our next music video as part of Pink Martini’s first ever Music Video Contest!
Pink Martini invites their fans to create a clever, inspired music video for the band for one of six songs from the new album Splendor in the Grass: “Ninna nanna,” “Ohayoo Ohio,” “Splendor in the Grass,” “Où est ma tête?,” “And Then You’re Gone,” or “Over the Valley.” You must be a resident of the United States, Canada or Mexico to enter this contest. Contest deadline is May 31, 2010.
Lyrics for the songs are available HERE. All songs can be streamed HERE.
Videos will be judged on

- concept, and
- production quality
(not view count) by the Pink Martini band and staff.
