Finalists officially announced!
In case you were wondering, Social Science & Obi Best sponsored a video contest for the song “Swedish Boy” which Obi’s own Alex Lilly explains in the video below.
Well the contest closed on February 15th, 2009 and the results are in!
There was a lot of amazing, inventive (and hilarious!) filmmaking in the 20 entries we received, so if you haven’t already, please check out the other videos.
But after some spirited discussion among the Social Science & Obi Best crews we whittled it down to five finalists. Here are our favorites, highlighted in pink. $500 prize winner to be announced next week. Congratulations and thank you to finalists and EVERYONE for their creativity and hard work!
Spend $75 (a pair of pants!) at any Urban Outfitters during the holidays and get a free sampler with music from Obi Best, Oasis (remember?), the Ting Tings, Jenny Lewis, Chromeo & more…
