Evening Star Clip Competition

Music NT is holding a video clip competition for the 2010 Indigenous Music Awards!

This year, Music NT is holding a video competition — we want your ideas for representing the theme of the Indigenous Music Awards in a short video.  You don’t have to be an amateur or professional filmmaker –  you can just record footage with your phone and upload.
The production quality is not important at all – we are interested in music and video out of your world.  The 2010 theme is ‘The Evening Star’:

The Evening Star is the first star to appear each night every night in the centre and the top end. This is the time we bring our music, our song and our dance to life.
- Christine Christophersen
