Silver Sound's 3rd Annual Music Video Film Festival + Band Battle

Submissions are now being accepted for Silver Sound's 3rd Annual Music Video Film Festival + Band Battle, taking place on January 10th, 2012 at Brooklyn Bowl. Silver Sound is a studio in NY that provides production, post-production, and live sound services in addition to music recording. Each year this event brings musicians and filmmakers together in a unique competition that you will not want to miss. The night is comprised of two simultaneous competitions: a music video film festival and a battle of the bands. The winners of each, determined by a panel of judges consisting of prominent members of the film and music communities, will have the opportunity to team up together to create a music video produced by Silver Sound. It will be worth over $10,000. This year's event is sure to be the biggest yet, and all competitors can expect to gain a lot of exposure, a chance to perform live for a large audience, and to meet and hear other artists, all competing for their own high-quality music video. The deadline for submissions is December 25th, so don't delay. Submit now. Check out last year's competition.
