Red Hot Chili Peppers “Charlie” Video Contest

Music

I really dig contests. It gives people a chance to display their talents, and because something is often “on the line”, more dedication goes into the entry in order to “win”!

A while back the Red Hot Chili Peppers ran a video contest for the song “Charlie” from their album Stadium Arcadium. The winning video got to be the official video for the song If the band choose your video as the winner.

Prize: $5,000 and a trip to meet the band at their show in Paris.

And here is the winning video.

I thought the video was clever, fun, and really represented diversity quite well. All in all I thought it was a groovy video. It would be sweet to see the other submissions too. Hmm, maybe they are floating around Youtube.

Anyhow, contests are a really cool thing. You’d be amazed at the results it can bring to your business, band, or whatever. Bottom line, contests rule!

Very cool, J.

There can be no funkier white boys than those who scored the original J-Mo soundtrack: The Uplift Mofo Party Plan.
