I apologize if this has already been posted and somehow I missed it.

 

Coldplay is having a contest for a trip to see one of their shows in England this December!!! Basically, they are looking for a fan-made video for Lost? (the piano version of the song) and the winner gets "the best seats in the house" and backstage passes and hotel accomodations and everything!!!

Here's the link:

This sounds so fantastic.... I need to come up with something good! :D

 

Edit: Mods, go ahead and move this to the Live section if you want... I realized a bit too late that maybe this would be more appropriate there. :)

plane tickets are included in the prize!

I Need You Guy's Help!

 

I NEED ANYBODY'S HELP TO MAKE MY "LOST?" VIDEO!!!

Okay, So when i heard about the video contest, i was so excited. this is right up my alley. An idea jumped into my head. i should have coldplaying members in my video. And since the song is Lost?, i thought it would be cool to see coldplaying members holding up a "?".

 

Objective: Take a picture of yourself holding a "?". it can be hand drawn or typed.

doesnt it just mean travel from the hotel to the concert?...

Prepare to lose guys! :D, Only kidding, I wish good luck to everyone participating! :D

:o I am studying music video film making.... so glad I chose it now :lol:.

I'm so sad I can't enter any of these competitions because of my tests :bigcry:

Bah! Funds no likey this competition! Nor do school! School and funds bad! Contest good!

 

Need some figuring out to do.

doesnt it just mean travel from the hotel to the concert?...

 

weeeel, the way it reads to me it says travel to & from the show. which I understand to mean getting you to the show. And none of the guidelines say that its for UK residents only, or quote the infernal line "does not include travel to London". so I would understand that to mean that they would fly you from wherever.

 

However, its so ambiguously written, that I would want to check first.

Well to me it says "and we'll pay for your travel and accomodation" if your travel is a bus ride across town, so be it, if its a flight half way round the world so be it. The tickets are free, and so are the passes, one night in a hotel is basically nothing, esentially the only thing they are paying for this is the travel, and if they flew someone in from Peru a say £1500 flight would not be that great expense for people like this.

I emailed Debs, and this is the answer:

 

Jen: A few of the overseas board members are hoping to enter the Lost competition. They aren’t sure, from the way the guidelines are written, whether they will be able to enter. Would you know if travel to and from the show just means in London, or would the competition pay to transport a winner from Australia (for example)? They wanted to know before entering the competition, because they would hate to win the tickets & then find they couldn’t afford to get here.

 

Debs: Absolutely. It does say transport is paid.. unless stated comps are always international.

 

so there you go :D

I emailed Debs, and this is the answer:
