Instead of picking a single winner, the band awarded prizes to three videos. In addition to the expected prize of a signed copy of ''[[Geogaddi]]'' for each winner, the first place entry received a "very rare" signed metallic ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'' poster. | Instead of picking a single winner, the band awarded prizes to three videos.
