Matador Records and YouTube have teamed up to hold a pretty awesome contest to win $1000 as well as an all expenses paid trip to NYC to see Pretty Girls Make Graves; 20 runners up get a Matador Records “prize pack”.

So what in the world has to be done to win? Just make a music video for Pretty Girls Make Graves’s song “Nocturnal House” from their album “Elan Vital” which is going to be released in April. Of course your video has to be the best to win or at least picked as the best. See the contest page for all the rules and details.

Download “Nocturnal House” (MP3) to get your inspiration and of course include it in your music video. I mean it isn’t a music video without the music. Duh!
