Yo, people! I have very exciting news! Sparklette is the exclusive voting blog for the Nokia “You Make It Reel” competition!

Nokia 'You Make It Reel' Indie Music Showcase

To launch its new N93i mobile phone, Nokia organised this competition in which aspiring music video directors from eight Asia-pacific countries compete against one another to make the best music video. All videos are based on the music of greyskull, a punk rock band from the United States. The best music video director gets to win a cool US$10,000!

Right now, the competition has narrowed down to 7 finalists, each from a different country. You can vote for the best video exclusively over here at Sparklette!

Just by voting alone, you stand to win Nokia N series premiums. The grand prize winner gets a pass to the Nokia indie music showcase! (I love indie music!) this is a highly exclusive, strictly by-invitation-only event where the grand winner of the “You Make It Reel” competition will be announced.
