The Brief

M83 want you to make the official music video for the song Steve McQueen, from their critically acclaimed album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming.

M83 are giving you complete creative freedom, and leaving the brief wide open for you to interpret the song. Something to keep in mind from Anthony though: "Its not about the actor"!

Deadline for entries is 10 September 2012, 23:59 GMT time.

Awards & Judging

The winner will receive £3,000 and have their video used as the official music video for Steve McQueen.

Outstanding videos will also be nominated for the 2012 Genero Awards and in the running for $25,000 in prizes.

The winner and finalists will be chosen by M83 and Genero.

M83

"A riot of stadium-epic power drums, synth choruses set to Kate Bush and a runaway sax cut from Cut Copy's cloth combine to excellent effect" - NME

"High-impact, dizzying synth-pop epic… Born on a vapour trail of dancefloor abandonement, it's pure, digitized MDMA" - Time Out

Plain big is not so hard to pull off. Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb", Harry Nilsson's "Without You", Jimmy Webb's "MacArthur Park", Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine"…rock history is landmarked with preposterously massive songs that are often bloated and overwrought, songs that stand as giant signposts to feeling, but communicate little actual emotion. Grand-scale songs may be impressive, but filling tunes of a synapse short-circuiting enormity with real emotional resonance – making them memorable for reasons other than size – is much more difficult.

It's a talent Anthony Gonzalez has clearly mastered with ‘Hurry Up, We're Dreaming', a double album that brokers a brilliantly effective accord between the ostensibly conflicting demands of commercial pop and experimental rock, and packs some truly giant tunes.
