Visualizing music is an art. No matter if it’s experimental, performative, direct, graphic, silly, or fun, it is an incredible feeling to see video that encapsulates the feeling of a track. So many of the best visual artists hone their skills in this genre. Spike Jonze, David Fincher, Gore Verbinski, and many other amazing directors even got their start in music videos. We want to find the next great auteur, the next great musician, and the next great music video.
