Hammerhead Video Contest Announcement
The Offspring have created a YouTube group as a gathering place for fan created video clips set to the new song "Hammerhead" (lyrics at bottom).

"We are excited to see what people will do to add their perspective and talents to 'Hammerhead.'" - Dexter Holland

Be creative. Be current. Be literal. Be abstract. Use your own self-shot/documentary footage. Find the right footage for your voice. Share your experiences. Use this as another way to tell your own story. Whatever makes sense to you to make the best video you can.

The band will pick their favorite from the top rated videos and award prizes as follows?
Grand Prize Winner - $10,000 (picked by band)
Most Viewed Submission - $3000
Most Favorited Submission - $2000

No rules, except these -
Please do not use any videos/photos of The Offspring in your video.
No length requirement, you can use as little or as much of the song as you like.
Acceptance of the submission agreement required.
