New Chikara Contest - Make Your Best Chikara MV
So in the great tradition of CHIKARA contests, we're back again to exploit your artistic skill for our own gain, because we know that you're some of the most talented fans a wrestling company could ask for. We want YOU to drum up your best MV tribute to CHIKARA, past or present. You pick the theme, you pick the song, and we'll pick the winner. There's no boundaries on the time, or the number of entries you can submit. The contest will run all the way thru September 30th, and we ask that you host your submissions on YouTube or Daily Motion, etc. instead of sending us a 4GB file direct from your laptop. We don't want those.
The winners, as usual will get a mess of CHIKARA goodness - tickets, DVDs, shirts, trading cards, frisbees, posters, and more.
So what are you waiting for? Start dreaming and start tearing it up as we begin our march to find the world's greatest CHIKARA MV! Email all submissions to chikarasonleonard@gmail.com and feel free to post them here, or on the boards over at CHIKARAFANS.COM for all to see.
