Italian Goth Metal Icons LACUNA COIL have launched a very special contest on Youtube asking their fans to contribute to their upcoming DVD. 3 favourite clips will be featured on the DVD which is scheduled for release later this year.
From the band:
“As most of you know we're at home right now writing songs for our new album. However, we're also working on something else very special as well and we want YOU to be a part of it .
We're putting together a special DVD that will be all about the “Karmacode” album and all of the tours that we have done over the past 2 years.
And of course all of the fun and good times that we had with all of you while we were out there promoting “Karmacode”! We know we have some of the best fans in the world and feel we have to celebrate you by giving you a feature on the DVD.
We have created this youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/lacunacoil, so you can send us stuff that you have filmed that relates to either LACUNA COIL or “Karmacode”.
This can be anything like for example:
* Any of our live performances.
o We would love to see videos from the American Stone Sour or Rob Zombie tours.
* You meeting us and hanging out with us.
* Home made videos for songs from “Karmacode”.
* Videos of “Karmacode” related artwork.
* “Karmacode” karaoke sessions with your crazy friends.
Just make sure you keep the following things in mind:
o Please read through the terms and conditions in the column on the left of our youtube-channel http://www.youtube.com/lacunacoil. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
o Your footage must feature in its headline: Lacuna Coil official DVD competition
o Only use footage that you shot yourself. So no borrowing images or music from other people or bands. We know this is very tempting, but we want your own creativity and footage with our music. If a clip features other people's work we cannot use it.
o Please make sure we can contact you if your feature gets picked for the DVD, because we will need a “high resolution” version that is suitable for DVD and we need to officially clear the usage with you.
o Please send in your material before June 30th, this is the drop dead deadline.
Sending us your clips is easy: Just upload your clip to your Youtube account, then add it to our channel by making it a video-comment our short introductory clip.
Obviously, others will comment on your clip and the most popular ones end up on the DVD. So, make sure you tell your friends about this!
We are looking forward to seeing your clips and looking back on some of the precious moments we shared with you.
Thank you everyone! This will be fun!” (LACUNA COIL, June 2008)
