Elton John and Leon Russell want you to make them a video

by Anne T. Donahue

If you’re an aspiring director, producer or an Elton John/Leon Russell superfan, your dream could be realized thanks to a contest put on by the artists who want you (yes, you) to make them a music video.

The duo is calling on fans to produce and direct a counterpart for their single “Hey Ahab,” which could become the song’s official video if selected. On top of that, they’re offering the winner $5000 and a slew of bragging rights.

John and Russell’s collaborative album, The Union, came out in October of last year, and details of the contest can be found on their official website.
