How does this contest work?

 

It's simple:

 

You choose from either “Parkway South” or “Mary-Anne” (tracks one and two on our 2015 album, Carousel Season) and you make a video for the song. 

 

Submissions are taken via email. Once you finish making your video, go to our submissions page and follow the instructions for emailing thedeafeningcolors@gmail.com.

 

The deadline is 11:59 PM on Sunday, May 22, 2016. Then, we will pick our favorites.

 

** BY SUBMITTING, YOU ARE STATING THAT YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW.**

 

First prize will receive $400 and your video will be released as our official video for the song, posted to our YouTube page and our website and shared with the world. 

 

Second prize will receive $100 and your video will also be released as our official video (the second place winner will be selected from the entries for whichever song did not win the first place prize)

and shared with the world.

 

Winners will be announced and videos released on Monday, May 30, 2016.
