It’s time for another YouTube video contest! This time we are asking for music videos. Here’s what we want you to do…

Make a music video using only ROBLOX video you capture and a song you like. You can do one of 3 things.

· Make up your own story to go along with your favorite song

· Create your own music and set ROBLOX video to it

· Re-create your favorite real world video (scene for scene) using ROBLOX video

Then upload the video to your YouTube account. The video description must have your usernames first, at the top! There must be a link to ROBLOX (http://www.roblox.com), and the tag “roblox-rox”. Also include tags for your favorite bands and songs (whether they are in your vid or not), more tags is better!

Example description for a video entry

username: ReeseMcBlox  This is my music video entry with my favorite song! I made it myself! 

Go to http://www.roblox.com

Tags: roblox-rox, roblox, space oddity, jonas brothers, linkin park, david bowie, muse

Here are some example videos to give you ideas!

(Example of many style ideas, but yours should be just 1 song long.)

Rules

1. The video must be between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. One song per video, no mashups or jumping from song to song!
2. No video from other games.
3. All songs must be radio-play ready, meaning bad words are bleeped and the song is safe for kids.
4. Teams are allowed – up to 4 users. List all usernames at the top of the description!
5. All the videos have to be uploaded between today and noon March 9, 2009. Older videos can not win.
6. DO NOT PUT the song title, artist and album movie credits, video title or description (more info) or YouTube may take down your video. You can also swap your song for a LEGAL copy after you upload it. Check this out! You may need to swap if you used an iTunes song.
