ASHFIELD YOUTH THEATRE in association with CITY OF CANADA BAY COUNCIL invites local inner west bands and/or musicians (under 25 years of age) to submit an online demo for consideration into its new MUSIC VIDEO PRODUCTION PROJECT.

Local young filmmakers will work with industry professionals to create a broadcast quality music video clip for 3 successful bands / musicians. The final product will be premiered at Club Five Dock in April 2008 and distributed to music video programs online and through network television.

A judging panel of key artists engaged on the project will select submissions based on:

· The production quality of the demo

· The majority of the band members being under 25 years of age

Once a band / musician have been selected, they will be required to submit a broadcast quality demo on CD for the filmmakers to work with.
