The band is looking for “animation, effects and filters, but they are not mandatory,” according to a statement, adding, “Images or videos of the band or their likeness, animated or otherwise, should not appear in the video.” Other than that, the group is open to all kinds of styles, adding, “Check out the track and let your creativity loose!” The winner of the contest will be awarded $5,000. The closing date for all submissions is July 22nd.
