YouTube and Samsung UpStage

Last summer, YouTube and the Samsung UpStage teamed up to put on a contest with a prize of $16,000 worth of audio equipment. The contest required the entrants to use their creativity to create a music video for the song “Destiny Calling” by the Swedish pop group, Melody Club. The contest was a hit. There were over 250 entrants and YouTube narrowed that number down to their top 20 and gave the public the power to use their votes to decide the winner.

Tim Kressin of Murrieta, CA took home the prize with his ‘backward’ video. See Tim and the rest of the top 20 at YouTube.
