Cingular YouTube Underground
Savvy cell phone company Cingular and video mega-site YouTube have teamed up to present "YouTube Underground," a talent hunt for unsigned bands and musicians.
Indie artists can submit their videos from Oct. 2 thru Oct. 18. After that, millions of YouTube users will vote for the finalists. From this smaller group, four grand prize winners -- best song, best music video, best live performance, and best creative work -- will be chosen.
Winning acts will get a video featured on Cingular mobile phones, an appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America," and new equipment from Gibson and Epiphone, among other things.
Might be worth a shot.
