RHCP WANTS YOU TO MAKE THEIR VIDEO

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have launched a contest on video-sharing website YouTube that gives fans the opportunity to create the official video for "Charlie," from Stadium Arcadium. The winner of the contest will receive 5,000 dollars and a trip to meet the Red Hot Chili Peppers and see them perform live in Paris, France on July 6th.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are reaching out to their fans and budding directors to create a video from STADIUM ARCADIUM after seeing so many creative videos for their songs on sites like YouTube. "Videos are harder than they look. It's very very rare and beautiful and monumental when someone makes a truly good video...this is an opportunity to have that happen for this song," says Anthony Kiedis.

The winning video will be the "official" video for the song. To enter the contest, which runs through April 20th, eligible entrants should visit or http://www.youtube.com/group/RHCPcontest or http://contest.warnerbrosrecords.com/RHCP and follow the instructions to upload their video entry. The contest is open to entrants from the United States, UK, Germany, Australia, Canada and Sweden.
