Kong Studios is back and open for business, which can only mean one thing. The Gorrilaz are getting ready to get back in action. To build up the buzz, they?re offering an on-line talent search a la ?(fill-in-your-country-here? Idol.?
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. (full details)
The winner gets to collaborate with The Gorillaz in ?a way they see fit.? Could be cool. Or it could be lame. I guess we?ll just have to wait and see?
