To celebrate the release of his critically acclaimed new album "The Outsider" DJ Shadow & Island Records are inviting fans and aspiring creatives to submit videos for his next single "This Time". Visual representation, whether it be through video or artwork, has always been a vital ingredient in Shadow's work. From the memorable cover artwork on his seminal debut "Endtroducing..." to his collaboration on the "Dark Days" movie, to the animation used on the "Mashin' on The Motorway" video, the stunning live visuals of his live performances, and the most recent collaboration with Banksy for the artwork on "The Outsider", Shadow has successfully married the audio and the visual like no other artist.

Shadow and his label are hoping, and expecting, this competition to throw up fresh creative talent and provide a unique and exciting opportunity for the entrants to have their work recognised.

Entries can be anything from animations, off-cuts, brief sketches, film scenes, caught-on-camera clips, out-takes, voice-overs, random footage, whether humorous, dark, edgy, juvenile, insightful or thought provoking. It's not necessarily about who can create the slickest, most professional work. It's really more about the execution of simple ideas, however bizarre, dark, funny, ingenious or off the wall. The nature and content of the submission is entirely up to the user.

The competition is open to entries from around the world

The closing date is Friday 20th Oct.

DJ Shadow will be choosing the winning video which will be promoted gloabally. The winner will also receive a cheque for £1,000.
