Steve Martin would like everyone to make a video for “Wally On The Run” with their dogs. Steve wrote the song, featured on his current CD The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo CD, for his beloved canine Wally. Steve speaks about the contest on his newly re-launched website www.stevemartin.com.
He has partnered with Dailymotion to create a site to view his video, download the track, upload your own video submissions and view videos from other entrants: http://www.dailymotion.com/group/WallyOnTheRun.
This site goes active today and the contest ends December 1. Steve himself will select the final first prize winner, who will receive $1000. The runner up will receive $.99 as a refund for the purchase of the song.
