WATMM hosted a Boards of Canada video contest a few years back. The videos were judged by Mike and Marcus themselves, who picked the winners as follows:

  1. gyroscope -- created by billy clayton
  2. june 9th -- created by anon
  3. corsair -- created by magnus hedberg

The following text has been copied from the yahoo boc group, a post made by skhoinarion.

"We were impressed with the amount of work everyone put into this competition and ended up picking three favourites rather than one. there were quite a few great films submitted, some using using lovely super8 filmclips and some very nice fuzzy video. i know it's a cliche to say it was difficult to choose a winner, but it was. so in the end we figured the john-carpenter-tachyon-video-esque "corsair" clip by magnus hedberg was nicely done, especially with the additional sounds. next up was the norman mclaren-ish abstract clip that (anon?) made for "june 9th", which upon close inspection reveals nice little synchronisations to the different melody parts in our track. and finally the overall winner is the brilliant day-glo "gyroscope" clip by billy clayton, which has just the right lysergic qabala sesame street feel to it. great stuff.

well done to everyone who entered the competition and thanks for putting so much work in. and thanks for listening so closely...

keep up the Wo God Rok.... mike sandison"
