Win £5,000 By Making a Music Video for Marillion

In a fun and interesting twist, Marillion's latest song - 'Whatever Is Wrong With You?' - comes with a challenge:

Make a video, upload it to YouTube and, if your video gets the most views by 0:01 GMT on 1 December 2008 you get £5,000. Marillion meets Web 2.0 in style! And the lyrics are so... well, explain why Marillion remains my favorite band of all time. Both Fish and Hogarth eras, you splitters!

I honestly wish I had some video skills so I could take a shot at this - but who knows, maybe I'll toss something out there at them. Just for fun. I don't expect I will win, but I know I do have an original idea and it's something I actually related to something I sent the Marillion folk a few months ago... but, of course, I probably got trapped in the electronic or human spam filters. Obla di, obla da.

If you do have some video skills - and I know some readers of KnowProSE.com do (as well as some people who should be reading)... why not give it a try? Go check out WhateverIsWrongWithYou.com and check out the rules, download the MP3 and... get out your scissors and silver foil, toss some Christmas lights on your clothes, and go a little... Marillion.

On another note - brilliant marketing, great way to get We of the Marillion involved more. Now I have to go see someone about a dog with Christmas lights...
