MUSIC VIDEO COMPETITION FOR YOUNG MAKERS

The CD School's Out! vol. 5 featuring the finalists of the High School Music Competition 2009 has been released. Young music video makers are challenged to create a music video for one of the songs and compete for the prize package.

In 2008, the Popunie introduced the High School Videoclip Competition, challenging young video makers to create a video for a song from the CD School's Out! The CD School's Out! is the final result of the High School Music Competition (HSMC). The HSMC is a national music competition that searches for up-and-coming talent between the ages of 12 and 19 every year. The finalists create an adaptation of the winning poem from the national poetry competition “Doe Maar, Dicht Maar”. The adaptation of the poem and an original song subsequently appear on the CD School's Out!

Young music video makers aged 12 to 19 can register until December 31 to participate in this competition; the video must be completed by March 1, 2010. Six clips will be selected from the submitted videos by an expert jury. The makers of these clips will be offered a workshop day led by experienced video makers. The six selected clips will advance to the final, after which a winner will emerge. The winner will participate in the creation of a professional music video and will go on tour abroad with the winning band or act from the HSMC to make a short documentary about it.

The website www.highschoolmusiccompetition.nl provides more information, and a short guide for making a video clip is also available for download.
