::2:: GO INDEPENDENT AWARDS ::

The best Filmed by Bike submissions have excellent music.   That's why this year, we're proud to bring you the Go Independent Awards, sponsored by the Bike Gallery. Use independent, licensed music in your piece and you'll be entered into the competition. The jury will select their favorite film and the winner will receive $100.

The jury will screening for songs that provide an awesome soundtrack for your movie.   It doesn't matter how many different songs you use, but everything in your movie has to be licensed to be eligible for the Go Independent Awards.   And maybe the song's not so great but the way you use it rocks; we think that's fair game.

...nitty gritty....

* You must have the rights to use all the music in your movie

* Your movie must contain at least one song that is independent (see website)

* In order to be entered, you must check the Go Independent box on the submission form  

* Winner will be announced April 10th or sooner

* The winner's check will be mailed May 1st
