Jack's Mannequin ask fans to create artwork for next music video

Alternative Press - Enola Garland on 5/22/09 @ 8:57 PM - altpress.com

Pop powerhouse Jack's Mannequin are enlisting the help of their fans to create the video for their next single, "Swim". "Swim" is the second track off of 2008's The Glass Passenger.

What do they need from you? Jack's Mannequin are asking fans for original artwork inspired by the song to incorporate into the video. The fan-created artwork should feature the word "swim" in some form and "illustrate, in any way chosen, the meaning behind the word (hope, perseverance, courage, determination and strength)." The work can be expressed in an abstract or representational form, but the band asks that the artwork not contain any imagery of actual "swimming", and for it not to be too detailed. The video will show people holding the song-inspired artwork to the camera.

The deadline to submit artwork is May 29th at midnight.

"Swim" is scheduled to begin filming next month. Further information, such as requirements and a release form, can be found on the band's website.
