| GORILLAZ 'SEARCH FOR
A STAR' COMPETITION |
| |
| Welcome to the
World's First Online-Only Talent Competition! Get Yer Skills
out! Win a Chance to be a new Gorillaz Collaborator and get
your work shown around the world. |
| |
| We are looking to
shine a light on brand new talents, and are asking people from
all creative fields to send in submissions. Entries could be
anything from animations, musical, sickly off-cuts, brief sketches,
film scenes, caught-on-cameras clips, out-takes, voice-overs,
bits of unused footage, whether humorous, dark, edgy, juvenile,
insightful or thought provoking. |
| |
| We are hoping that
this will throw up some truly creative fresh talents, and provide
an open forum for people who would normally have no outlet to
display their work. |
| |
| We're not looking
for people to send in the slickest most, professional formats.
It's much more about the execution of simple ideas, however
bizarre, dark, funny, ingenious or off the wall. The nature
and content of the submission is entirely up to you. |
| |
| DETAILS |
| The competition will
commence on 15th December 2004. As of then any submissions will
be available for viewing in 'The Auditions Room' of Kong Studios
to be found at Gorillaz.com |
| |
| Clips should be no
longer than about a minute long. We will accept some submissions
that run over - but you better be pretty sure of yourself. Don't
be dull. If you've got footage that's coming in at 15minutes
long, edit it down or select the best bit yourselves. This still
means it can be a brief clip from a longer piece of work! |
| |
| Murdoc, 2D, Noodle
and Russel will select their favorites each week as they come
in. Remember, the judging can be ruthless! After that the top
ten entries will then be available for viewing. Next, it's up
to the online audience to vote for the clips they think are
most deserving to go forward into that week's 'Winner League
Table'. All submissions will be archived for future viewing. |
| |
| The winner of each
weekly round will go forward into 'The Finals'. There will be
23 weeks of submissions, leading up to 'The Finals', when the
viewers will get to vote for the ultimate winners. |
| |
| You can enter as
many times as you like. |
| |
| CLOSING
DATE |
| The closing date
for submission will be 23 weeks after the 15th December opening
date. This will give us a final 23 'Winnerís League'
submissions to vote for. There will also be the 'Wild Card Re-Entry'
additions. This will be a collection of the 10 favorite previously
rejected entries, as selected by the band. These are the entries
that the Gorillaz themselves have decided must go through to
the final round. In total there will be 33 submissions for the
Finals. The final voting will last a month, allowing the online
audience to vote for the eventual 'Top Five Winners'. |
| |
| VOTING |
| This will commence
from the day of the Launch. You can only vote once a week /
once per round. Use it well. The first result will be announced
online on the 10th January 2005. |

ASKED QUESTIONS |
- By signing the disclaimer will I be giving away all
the rights to my work?
No, you still hold the rights to your work and creative
ideas and you can still use it elsewhere.
Signing the disclaimer does however mean that you cannot
make any legal or financial claims against EMI or Gorillaz
for screening/displaying your work on the Gorillaz website,
or for it to be used in association with the Search for
a Star Competition.
- Can my entry be used by EMI, EMI affiliated artists
or Gorillaz for other purposes than the Search for a Star
competition?
No, your entry will only be used in association with the
Search for a Star Competition.
- What happens if I win?
At this point further discussions will take place between
you, EMI and the Gorillaz.
- What happens if my clip is over 1 minute?
This is at gorillaz discretion, the clip will either be
cut down to the first minute or if your lucky played in
full.
To ensure you're happy with the results it's best to cut
it down yourself.
- What does "Screen Credit" mean?
Screen credit is the version of your name that the general
public sees. Think of it as your stage name.
