Hello YV fans! Yes it's that time again!

For this months competition we're asking you to get creative once more.


What we want you to do is to film yourselves performing a song of your choice from A Town And Two Cities then post the song on youtube and the best one wins. It's as simple as that.


If you're thinking "but I can't sing!" you needn't worry as you can interpret the word "performing" however you want.


For example, you could mime a performance of your favorite song as you impersonate one of the five of us. You could do a dance routine to your chosen song with your friends. You could recite the lyrics as poetry from a strange location such as the top of a mountain or the middle of an enchanted forest. If you can play and sing then you could simply cover one of our songs yourself. You really can do whatever you want, it's entirely up to you. The more creative and/or entertaining the better though.


When you've recorded your performance post it on youtube using the tags "Your Vegas" first followed by the song title. Then send it to us in a message so that we can keep tabs on all entries and make sure we see all of them.


Now to the most important thing in any competition - the prize.
If you win you will receive:

- A signed copy of A Town And Two Cities
- Two tickets to a Your Vegas show of your choice (excluding festivals - sorry)
- A signed rare poster advertising our first ever L.
A show at the Viper Room
- A signed drum stick from Mal and a plectrum from the rest of us.

- A signed Your Vegas T-Shirt
- And finally, the trousers Coyle wore on stage every night of the Duran Duran tour. Don't worry, they have been washed.


This competition is open to fans all over the world and the only rule is that you must post your entry on youtube. The closing date for entries is July 15th. We'll be judging the competition ourselves and announcing the winner one month from now on July 17th.


Good luck and Good times,
Jon

And OMG a MOTHERLOAD of prizes!!!! :swoon: I am already so jealous of the winner whoever you may be!!!!!!

the prizes are so amazing you'd be crazy not to enter! I'm thinking I just may have to enter anyways even though I don't have a shot in hell as far as talent goes and I sure don't have a chance winning two prizes in a row, because not taking a shot at those prizes breaks my heart! :cry: Robin you have to enter! Just say the words, that's all you have to do. Be creative! You can do it!

Get your thinking caps on everyone!!!!! You can do it!

OMG!!!!! I don't know how the hell I'm gonna swing it but I'm gonna learn how to upload onto Youtube if it kills me!

Julie, you are so sweet to be so encouraging of others. I was on the phone with my Your Vegas BFF and telling her how positive and nice everyone is on the forum.

But why would the boys think that I'd want Coyle's pants UNWASHED?!?!? :giggle:

uh-oh, maybe we need a little youtube tutorial posted? it's easy, I know you'll know as you go, but just in case anyone needs it:

1. join youtube.
2. record your video, then load it onto your computer and save it.
3. log in to youtube, and click on your username at the top of the screen.
4. now you should see "upload" in blue letters at the top mid to left of your screen. Click on it.
5. fill in the required fields with your title, description, and select "music" as the category. For tags, use several tags that will help people find your vid, such as Your Vegas, A Town and Two Cities, the names of each of the boys, and the name of the song you did.
6. you can ignore the stuff under that unless you have special preferences, then all the way under that, click on "upload video". find the vid on your computer and youtube will load it. sometimes it takes a while. And after you've finished uploading, it will still be processing, so you will have to wait a few minutes before you can watch it. Don't worry when it doesn't show up right away!

:wink: hope that helps!

I'm so glad that it's clear b/c I want to enter about a million times. I'm taking a leave of absence from work until July 15th! :frantic:

Julie, I know, I tried photobucket before when first started myspace 3 weeks ago to send the boys a picture of my tee shirt that I made for them. They thought it was hysterical. But I could never figure out the photobucket thing so I never got the pic to them :dntknw:

This was after a lot of sweating and dancing in 99% humidity!!! Coyle took the pic!!!!!
