The An Eagle In Your Mind Video Contest was a Boards of Canada fan video contest held by WATMM in late 2002. The videos were judged by the band themselves, who also supplied the prizes.

The contest was announced on on August 8, 2002 on WATMM.
- Ever wish there were BoC videos? Can you imagine what a video for ROYGBIV would have, or Orange Romeda? Now's your chance, as we are having our first ever "Eagle In Your Mind" Video Contest!
- Hexagon Sun and BoC are kindly offering a autographed Limited Edition Geogaddi CD as the Grand Prize to the person who can make the most creative video set to their favourite BoC song! [1]
Rules
Entries were submitted by FTP or mail. 1 The deadline for entries was originally December 15th but was pushed back to December 20th. [2]
Results
The contest results were posted on June 10th on WATMM. The results were delayed as BoC were apparently away from Hexagon Sun for some time.
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.
- 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. an honourable mention to the dreamy stills by david cameron who does a fine job unweaving our little tapestries on his site. 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 [3]
