Radiohead Invites Fans to Make Its Next Music Video

by Evan Shamoon, posted Mar 19th 2008 at 9:39AM

After releasing its last album, In Rainbows, as a pay-what-you-like download last year, Radiohead is holding a little contest: the winner gets $10,000 -- and the chance to make the band's next video.

Along with online animation studio Aniboom, Radiohead will be searching the world for someone fit to create a full-length music video for the band. They're asking contestants to submit storyboard treatments for the video that which will then be judged by Aniboom, Radiohead's label TBD Records, Adult Swim, and voters on MySpace.

All ten of the chosen semi-finalists will be awarded $1,000 each to produce one-minute versions of their videos; from those one-minute clips, the band will choose the best and award another $10,000 to produce a full-length video.

So make with the idea-having, young acolytes.
