If you like to sing and dance, or if you're an aspiring director, this is your chance to show us - and the country - what you've got! How, you ask? By producing your own music video!

The Grand Prize winner could have his or her video highlighted in our Wells Fargo® national TV advertisement during the Tournament of Roses Parade® and on wellsfargo.com. That's a lot of eyeballs.

We're also awarding two (2) 8GB Apple iPhones™, as well as ten (10) 1GB Flip Video™ Ultra Cameras to other lucky winners.

It was fifty years ago when Meredith Willson's "The Music Man" made its Broadway debut at the Majestic Theater. By the time the production closed up shop, it had put together an amazing run of 1,375 performances and remains an all-time favorite.

Of course, we realize this isn't River City, and it's definitely not 1912. That's why we're challenging you to put together your own updated take on "The Wells Fargo Wagon" song from "The Music Man."

So get inspired and express yourself! Choose from five different musical styles - Broadway, Pop, R&B, Latin, and Country. Want to show off your vocal chops? Go with one of our karaoke versions. Not feeling so confident? Feel free to lip synch along with our professional singers. Just make sure to submit your music video before November 26, 2007. And vote often!

Because if you have the creativity and talent, Wells Fargo could help showcase your music video to over 37 million of your closest friends on national TV.

You can take that to the bank.

SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT!

The response to the music video contest has been fantastic – thanks so much for all your enthusiasm!  As you guys are blocking, shooting, singing, and editing, we must admit we're on the edge of our seats in anticipation of the masterpieces you've got on tap.

So we're offering up a special incentive to all you up-and-coming directors and musicians out there – a sort of "carrot," if you will.

Are you almost, but not quite finished with your video?  Or maybe your inner muse needs just a little bit of poking and prodding? 

Well, we've got just the thing: We'll send one (1) Wells Fargo® $100 Visa® Gift Cards to the next five (5) users who upload their entries to the site. That's right…a cool benjamin to spend however, whenever, and on whomever you want.

So come on!  Finish that video tour de force, and pocket a little extra spending dough for your efforts.  We'll be waiting…
