Babelgum, the free, independent Web TV platform announced the launch of its brand new Babelgum Music Video Awards, in partnership with Music Nation.
Following the success of the Babelgum Online Film Festival, which showcased the work of gifted independent filmmakers, Babelgum has now created a special contest focusing solely on music videos.
The aim is to seek out and reward talented musicians and video directors, with a focus on indie artists. Once again, the audience vote will be crucial in picking the finalists, together with the professional jury consisting of Michel Gondry, David Ford and additional celebrity judges.
Submissions close on 16th November, 2008 and prizes include a deal with Universal Music and a live performance in the UK.
Valerio Zingarelli, Babelgum's CEO, commented: "This is a great opportunity for young musicians and video makers to expand their audience and find a new route into the industry. The Internet is an excellent place to present strong musical talent and an original vision to a vast audience and Babelgum is keen to expose new artists and help them overcome the obstacles of a system that's still controlled by the majors".
