Recently, YouTube, in connection with the Guggenheim Museum in New York City,
sent a call out to the world for artists to submit their videos. They were looking for creative videos, something that people haven't seen before.
Over 23,000 people responded.
From 90 countries.
A panel of jurors selected a "shortlist" of 200 videos. From THAT list, 25 videos were chosen to be the best.
On October 21, 2010, the 25 winning videos were announced at a huge party at the Guggenheim Museum. The videos were also broadcast outside on the side of the building.
One of my favorites is called, "Birds on a Wire". A man was reading the newspaper and saw a photo of birds sitting on a wire. The birds reminded him of notes on a scale, so he cut the picture out and converted the "birds" to notes and made music. How creative is that?
Click here for the link to everything you'd need to know. It gives you the background about YouTube/Play, the shortlist, and the links to all the videos. And then, when you have time, just start clicking on some of them and enjoy. They are cool, and they are different.

Wow, I loved that video. How creative!
Thank you, Pat. Not only am I going to watch them, I'm going to send this link to my daughter. She's a film major and those film kids are constantly searching youtube for all the latest. We were on board early on in Youtube because my film girl was so enamored with it.
Pat, I agree the musical notes was the best! Thought you should know it was very windy between Winslow & Flagstaff today... it would have been quite the ride in big blue! i'm now holed up in a cheap motel wishing I were in a nice, cushy, cozy quiet one! A girl can dream can't she?

FUN! You definitely post some things I have never seen or even thought about. Thanks for the light side of life again.
The bird one has been a family favorite for ages... but I never knew the history of YouTube.
I'm on there somewhere.
Singing.
YouTube is amazing, I have been viewing and posting on it for several years. The Birds on a Wire is a great video, I'm going over to check out the rest.
You have the greatest ideas, Pat. The musical notes is great. I like YouTube, even have some of my pathetic attempts on there.

I heard about this contest when it was first announced, but hadn't realized that top 25 had been chosen. I'll have to check the videos out one day soon.
