3, the new video mobile service, is working with Liberty X to find 10 talented people from around the country to get to take part in the new Liberty X video" for the band's next single 'Jumpin'.* It's another massive tune from one of the biggest pop acts in the country and 10 very lucky winners are going to get the chance to be a part of it.
175 will be chosen to audition at the Grand Final on August 11 and no one will leave the Final disappointed as they will also be treated to an exclusive Liberty X performance on the day. 50 will then go through to a final audition and 10 will be chosen to appear in the video, which will be shot in the next couple of months.
All the budding video stars have to do is visit one of over 2,000 participating mobile phone retailers nationwide, watch an exclusive clip of Liberty X on a 3 video mobile (including the chance to get an exclusive first hearing of an excerpt from 'Jumpin') and fill in an application form to explain what star qualities they have. The thousands will then be pared down to just 175 lucky people who will be invited to join Liberty X at the Grand Final.
3 asked the band to classify their own 'star' qualities for the promotion. According to the band members themselves, their consensus was that; Jessica is the sexy one, Michelle is sassy, Tony's cool, Kevin's the cheeky one and Kelli's just plain funky.
"We've had a wonderful couple of years and it's fantastic that, thanks to the guys at 3, we're going to get to share part of the fun with some very talented people who are just starting out," explained Jessica.
"I still remember the nerves I got auditioning in front of the TV cameras" added Tony. "It'll be weird being on the other side for a change but at least we'll appreciate what they're going through!"
3 video mobiles are opening people's eyes to the very latest in mobile technology. As well as doing all the usual stuff such as text messaging, voice calls and picture messaging they do so much more. With live video calling you can talk face to face with your mates whilst video messaging is perfect for the extrovert - sing a song to a loved one or film all the gorgeous people in the bar and send via SMS or email.
Hanging around in an audition or waiting for the bus has never been more interesting either - download video content such as celebrity interviews, movie clips, comedy shorts and exclusive Barclaycard Premiership action and watch till your heart's content. And if you're lost or stuck on a choice of where to go, the Find service is perfect. 3's My Nearest will tell you where your nearest pub, cinema or cashpoint is and give you a map on how to get there.
So if you think you've got what it takes, get down to any 3Store or participating mobile phone retailer between June 30 and July 25th (closing date 1st August 2003) and win the chance to show that star quality on the small screen
Entrants must be over eighteen, terms and conditions apply - see your local three store or participating retailer or three.co.uk/star
