Updated 8/3/11: THANKS TO ALL THAT ENTERED – please do not continue to submit, as this contest is now over. Congrats to FOR KING AND COUNTRY, our winners!
Do you have a killer song that deserves a music video? We’re looking for the band/artist with the most “music video-worthy” song, and when we find them they’ll receive a music video produced by Harsh Media and directed by Jake Harsh. This is a very rare opportunity to get a top-notch music video and work with Jake Harsh for FREE!
Jake is most well known as a commercial/celebrity photographer, and has had the privilege of traveling nationwide to photograph some of today’s biggest celebrities, as well as tomorrow’s rising stars. He also has experience as a Sony RED/Tabula Rasa recording artist, co-owner of an independent record label, and now owns his own visual media company called Harsh Media, which specializes in video and photography.
Signed or unsigned, solo artist or band, you are invited to enter to win a complete music video package, including a one-day on-location video shoot, makeup/hair artist, and stylist on set.
Here’s how to enter: It’s pretty casual – you can enter anytime between 2/13/11 and 3/12/11 by emailing the following information to sara@harshmedia.com with the subject line “Music Video Submission”:
- a link to your Facebook page and/or website – whatever link you include, please make sure it includes photos of you, a bio, and your song(s)
- your name (and band name if applicable)
- a contact email
- the name of the song that you’d like to be featured in the music video
We encourage you to “Like” our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/HarshMedia to stay up to date on the search progress!
Our panel of judges will be choosing a winner based on quite a few criteria, including (but of course not limited to) the following:
- style
- marketability
- song likability
- uniqueness
- mass appeal
